• Ensure the safety and security of the hotel overnight, conducting regular checks and reporting incidents as needed.

• Carry out end-of-day financial procedures including cash handling and audit reports.

• Support housekeeping or maintenance issues where necessary, escalating as appropriate.

• Maintain a calm and reassuring presence to handle emergencies, noise complaints, or guest concerns.

• Prepare handovers for the morning team to ensure smooth transitions.

• Previous hotel or hospitality experience, ideally in a supervisory or night role.

• Confident in handling both reception duties and bar service.

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to lead a team and work independently.
