The Role:

As Assistant Guest Services Manager, you’ll support the Guest Services Manager in leading our Guest Services team and upholding the high standards that define Estelle Manor. Managing our team of Luggage Porters, Valets and Chauffeurs, you’ll play a key role in creating a personal, seamless and genuinely memorable arrival and departure experience for our members and guests.

You’ll be a natural focal point for guest interaction, confident working at the heart of the operation and responding quickly to changing demands. Well organised and solutions focused, you’ll thrive in a fast paced environment while leading by example and mentoring your team to be the best they can be.

Who are we looking for?

• Previous Guest Services, Concierge or similar experience within a luxury hotel, with knowledge of valet, chauffeur and luggage operations.
• Proven experience leading, coaching and developing a team, with the confidence to set clear standards and address performance when needed.
• The ability to remain calm and effective under pressure, responding confidently to fluctuating levels of operational demand.
• Strong cross departmental working skills, building effective relationships with both operational and support teams across the manor.
• A proactive, solutions focused approach, with the ability to anticipate guest and operational needs rather than waiting to be directed.
• A full, clean driving licence would be desirable given the operational nature of the role.

The on target earning potential for this role is £44,200 per annum - comprising a base salary of £41,200, plus a qualified estimate of £3,000 in gratuities and service charge.
