Duty Manager

We’re a family business through and through – family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.

We offer an expansive range of benefits to help you make the most of life outside of work, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued.

We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you’re someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you’ll fit right in.

Located at the heart of the Scottish borders, we offer a welcoming place to relax, unwind and magically shut off from the pressures of modern life. We’ve been welcoming guests for over 100 years and have many stories to tell. Today, we are home to 132 bedrooms, 3 eateries, 6 function spaces, a leisure club, spa and an array of outdoor spaces.

We are also home to the wonderful 1881 Gin Distillery and Gin School which offers a unique experience for its visitors.

We have an exciting opportunity for a proactive Duty Manager with a passion for creating magic moments to join our team.

You’ll successfully see to any guest issues and ensure we make fabulous memories for our guests. You'll take every possible opportunity to talk to people, share our story and enhance the guest experience. Taking a hands‑on approach and able to multi task, you’ll support our operational departments at peak times, to make sure our customers receive a seamless experience.

We're looking for someone with experience in the Hospitality industry, particularly Food and Beverage, as you will play a crucial part in our teams – supporting all departments as required. This will vary between assisting our F&B teams during breakfast, lunch and dinner, our Housekeeping team or our Reception team at all hours of the day.

This is a fabulous opportunity to develop your management experience in various operational areas, engaging with hearts and minds every chance you create. With everything we have to see and do, we can promise you a fast‑paced and dynamic management experience.

Exceptional customer service is at the heart of our business:
Your friendly and engaging personality will immediately reassure our guests that they’re in safe hands.

The face of the Hydro, you’ll have exceptional product knowledge and will be a key point of contact for customers and team members. Hands on and operational, you’ll have boundless energy to check and support different areas in the business, from housekeeping to reception to food and beverage to our childcare and leisure facilities. Your enthusiasm and passion for hospitality will inspire and energise the teams you’ll support.

You’ll be able to work well under pressure, able to take control of situations and prioritise your time to make sure you’re available where the guests need you most.

We need you to have previous operational supervisory / management experience in the Hospitality Industry and have a working knowledge of budget and IT to work with our systems. You’ll recognise trends from MI and use this to make a difference in improving the guest experience.
