Front of House Assistant - Canary Wharf
We are looking for a friendly, professional, and service-oriented Front of House Assistant to join our on-property hotel team. This role is the first point of contact for guests and plays a key part in delivering a welcoming and efficient guest experience throughout their stay.
This is a great opportunity for individuals passionate about hospitality who enjoy working in a guest-facing role and a team-orientated environment.
The Stage Is Set
The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.
What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.
Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost.
This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey, step on stage and play your part.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
