*This is a Night Receptionist Role - Ideally for someone with Hotel/Hospitality Background*

Be you. At work.

Here at Locke, we create spaces where you can be you – and we don’t just mean our design-led aparthotels. From front desk to back office, on-the-ground to behind-the-scenes, our team makes Locke what it is. Forget demographics: we’re building a community of the culturally curious. The forward-thinking. The ever-questioning.

Locke is growing. With new openings across the UK and Europe coming up, we’re at an exciting time in our young life. Want to get stuck in? Roll up your sleeves and let’s go.

The role.

Are you the Robin to Batman, the Willow to Buffy, the Hodor to Bran? Are you a customer-focused host with unbelievable multi-tasking abilities? Do you get energy from developing and supporting a happy, motivated team?

Maybe you’re our next Assistant General Manager at Locke at Bermonds Locke.

As the General Manager’s right-hand person, you’ll report to them and support all aspects of managing your Locke aparthotel. You’ll have a strong and extensive understanding of how to maintain and enrich the Locke brand, epic people management and a natural flair for delivering service that makes clients rave about their stay (and want to come back).

What it looks like.

• Creating tell-your-mates experiences that make guests want to keep coming back
• Being ‘in the know’ on local goings-on and inspiring guests with new ideas
• Acknowledging and acting on guest reviews in a way that shows Locke cares
• Leading the front-of-house team and empowering them to own their role as face of the hotel
• Handling complaints with a can-do attitude
• Coaching and being accountable for the front-of-house team, including rota management and setting SMART objectives

What you'll need.

• Love for hosting communities and creating thoughtful spaces
• Ambition and the courage to evolve personally at pace
• Hospitality experience at a busy property
• Human-led leadership skills and experience managing a team
• Intuitive customer service
• Confidence in crisis-management

Values you’ll share;

• Courage to question, evolve and be human
• Curiosity to seek out innovation, change and creativity
• Confidence to challenge convention and look for better ways to do and be
• Accountability and the desire to empower those around you
• Freedom to be yourself at work, just as much as at play
• Acceptance that perfection doesn’t exist and no one has a monopoly on good ideas
• Recognition of humanity in yourself and others to learn fast, evolve and grow

In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme), free nights in our properties, excellent travel and development opportunities, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.

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.

Bermondsey Street and The Shard to the left. Tower Bridge, Shad Thames and Maltby Street to the right. And a new bar, restaurant or gallery to discover around every cobbled corner. This is SE1, one of the fastest-changing, most inspiring parts of London. And it’s your new home.
