Guest Services Agent

If you love people, this is the role for you! Welcome folks from around the world and around the corner. You’re a west-coast Ambassador brimming with warmth and hospitality. As first point of contact for guests, you’ll help people get settled at the resort and connect to all the amenities and experiences that will make their trip one to remember.

We are Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet, on the edge of Pacific Rim National Park. Set amongst old growth Cedars and the rugged shoreline of Vancouver Island in the traditional territory of the Nuu-chah​-nulth people. Come share your passion!

We’re building a community that creates lasting and supportive relationships.

We act with integrity by committing to doing the right thing, leading by example and taking ownership of our words and actions.
