Ground Floor Team Member – Premier Inn

No two shifts are quite the same. One moment you could be helping a family check in before their holiday. The next you might be serving breakfast, recommending somewhere local to eat or helping solve a problem for a guest.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll do
As a Ground Floor Team Member, no two shifts look exactly the same. Depending on where you’re needed, you might:
- Welcome guests and help them check in
- Serve breakfast or evening meals
- Answer questions and help solve problems
- Help keep the reception, restaurant and public areas looking their best
- Support your teammates across the hotel when things get busy
- Make sure every guest feels looked after from arrival to departure
This isn’t a role where you'll spend your shift in one place. You’ll be helping guests, supporting teammates and keeping the hotel running smoothly.
You don’t need hotel experience

If you’re friendly, enjoy helping people and can stay calm when it’s busy, we’ll teach you the rest.

You’ll be joining a team that supports each other from day one. We’ll give you the training to feel confident in every part of the role, whether you’re checking in guests, serving breakfast or helping someone who’s had a long day and just wants to get settled.
