We are looking for FOH Assistants to join Whitworth Locke, Manchester. Our desire to inspire soulful hospitality is taking us on a journey of evolution and growth, making our presence felt in major cities across the UK and Europe. We entrust our vision, purpose and brand to the hands of our teams. It’s a big responsibility and this is why we seek and develop unique individuals to lead the charge.
In an (overly simplistic) nutshell our House Hosts are:
- Confident, warm and effervescent individuals, focussed on curating an experience that each one of our guests desires from the moment they step over our threshold.
- Endlessly curious - reading our guests and adapting approaches to suit the individual and not the masses.
- Most importantly, they are humans like us. We don’t believe in a work persona, we avoid hierarchy and we connect with empathy and honesty.
Our FOH Assistants don’t shy away from the fundamentals either; they embrace our systems and tech and they are eager to learn and evolve. When guests return home inspired, with stories to tell and discoveries to share, you will have been successful. They will come back more often and tell others. This will be the tale of Locke.
In return we offer you the following benefits:
- Bonus scheme
- Holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them)
- A host of wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan, Life Assurance, Long Term Income Protection, an Employee Assistance Programme…)
- Free nights in our properties
- Awesome recognition schemes
- Pension (the tax efficient way)
- Company sick pay
- Further benefits tailored to your individual needs
But most importantly, we offer you a role in our story and the chance to write your own chapter.
When and Where? We believe in working flexibly - this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.
Set in a 19th Century cotton factory, every area - from the beautiful Conservatory Bar to the spacious co-working lounge - celebrates the building’s quirks and features. There’s also a packed calendar of events, pop-ups and fitness classes for you to join in with, if you fancy. And if you’re heading out, you’re just minutes from the city’s best bars, shops and nightlife. Settle in, and see Manchester differently.
About Edyn: Our vision is to create sanctuaries across European cities, which provide a sense of belonging to the free-thinking urbanite in all of us. Each of our brands - Locke, SACO and Cove - is firmly rooted in the local neighbourhood, offering vibrant experiences and connections which nourish and enliven the soul.
