The Role
As a Guest Service Assistant, you'll play a key role in ensuring every guest receives a warm welcome and outstanding service throughout their stay.

You'll also have:
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- A professional and positive attitude
- Confidence using technology and learning new systems
- A flexible approach to shift work, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays
