Key Responsibilities

• Provide a warm, professional welcome and assistance to guests, clients, or staff arriving or working during the night, including handling check-ins, luggage, and enquiries.
• Perform routine building checks and minor maintenance tasks, such as ensuring public areas are clean, tidy, and well-presented, and reporting any faults to the appropriate department.
• Manage access control, verifying the identity of individuals entering the premises and ensuring all security protocols are followed to maintain a secure environment.
• Handle basic administrative duties for the night shift, such as logging incidents, taking messages for day staff, and coordinating with external services like taxis or security firms as required.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in a similar Night Porter, Security, or Front of House role, preferably within a hotel, corporate building, or hospitality setting.
• Exceptional customer service skills with a polite, calm, and helpful demeanour, even when dealing with challenging situations.
• A high level of integrity and vigilance, with a strong understanding of the importance of confidentiality and security.
• The ability to work independently through the night with minimal supervision, demonstrating initiative, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility.
