Part Time - Front Desk Agent - ZYWPA

Overview

The moment a guest steps into one of our hotels, they walk into a genuinely memorable experience. As a Front Desk Agent, you’ll not only be the person they rely on to handle transactions, offer local insights, and anticipate every detail of a friction-free experience. You’ll also create the warm atmosphere that makes our guests feel at home in any location.

Be the warm welcome that kicks off a memorable guest experience.

• Acknowledge IHG Rewards Club members and returning guests, in person or on the phone.
• Take and manage guest bookings, up-selling opportunities and tell them about ways to improve their stay.
• Handle cash and credit transactions.
• Start every stay right by swiftly checking guests in and out — take IDs, hand out room keys, and control and release safety deposit boxes.
• Stay one step ahead of guests’ needs – record and act on their preferences, and handle their messages, requests, questions, and concerns.
• Be a trusted contact for all guests. Help them with anything from bill issues to local knowledge, and loop in management when necessary.
• Stay safe at all times by following safety procedures and reporting incidents; wear protective gear as needed.
• Take pride in appearance and serve as a brand ambassador.
• Stay informed about events and activities on the day’s schedule.
• Jump into other ad-hoc duties when colleagues need help.

• In the hotel industry we cater for our guest needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While a shift will be assigned, there may be varying shifts across a 7-day period, including weekends, evenings, and public holidays.
• Communication skills – guests will need to come to you with concerns as well as compliments, so you’ll be easy to talk to.
• Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities, so every guest leaves with great memories.
• Fluency in the local language – extra language skills would be great, but not essential.
• Literate and tech-savvy – you’ll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic math and computers.
• Flexibility – night, weekend and holiday shifts are all part of the job.
• You’ll have a high school diploma or qualification. A college or university degree would be a bonus, but not essential.
• Experience – ideally, you’ll have spent at least one year in a front desk or guest service position.
• Strength – sometimes you’ll need to lift, push and pull big objects up to 50 lbs (23 kg). This can involve bending and kneeling.

We’ll reward all your hard work with a great salary and benefits – including a great room discount and superb training.
