Your Shift: What You'll Actually Be Doing As our Reception Host, you are the engine of the shift. We trust you to handle:
- The Welcome: Delivering a genuinely warm and energetic greeting to every arrival. You will confidently direct guests to our self-service terminals, stepping in to provide hands-on assistance the second they look confused or frustrated.
- The Problem Solving: Dealing with complaints politely and proactively on the spot. You will use your emotional intelligence to read the situation, resolving issues immediately or escalating them smoothly to your manager when necessary.
- The Environment: Acting as the constant, approachable face of the hotel lobby. You will keep the front of house pristine, clear away stray glassware, and always be ready to answer questions or upsell our food and beverage facilities.

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us.

Because it really does take a Village.
