Night Host​/Receptionist

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.

Are you a natural host? A people person with next-level organisational skills? Do you get a kick from creating a seamless, welcoming experience?

Reporting to and supporting the Operations Manager, you’ll be a key member of the night reception team and the face of the Locke brand. It’ll be up to you to make our guests feel at home from the minute they arrive, until the minute they leave (if they can bring themselves to do that…).

Set in a 19th Century cotton factory, every area – from the beautiful Conservatory Bar to the spacious co‑working lounge – celebrates the building’s quirks and features. There’s also a packed calendar of events, pop-ups and fitness classes for you to join in with, if you fancy. And if you’re heading out, you’re just minutes from the city’s best bars, shops and nightlife.

Settle in, and see Manchester differently.

Our vision is to create sanctuaries across European cities, which provide a sense of belonging to the free‑thinking urbanite in all of us. Each of our brands – Locke, SACO and Cove – is firmly rooted in the local neighbourhood, offering vibrant experiences and connections which nourish and enliven the soul.
