The Opportunity

This is a truly flexible, multi-skilled position working across the full hotel operation, adapting to the needs of the business and supporting teams wherever great service is needed most. We are looking for a Guest Service Manager who will play a key role in delivering exceptional guest experiences across all departments within the hotel. Working closely with the General Manager and Operations Manager; this role is responsible for ensuring high service standards, driving guest satisfaction, supporting daily operations, and creating memorable experiences for guests throughout their stay.

The Guest Service Manager acts as a visible leader within the operation, supporting the team on the floor, handling guest feedback professionally, and ensuring all outlets operate efficiently while maintaining brand standards. No two days will be the same — and that’s exactly what makes this role so rewarding.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Delivering outstanding customer service across all areas such as Reception, Conference & Events, Restaurant & Bar, and Housekeeping
  • Delivering friendly, professional, and attentive service to guests in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ensuring all public areas, guest spaces, and operational areas are maintained and presented to the highest possible standards.
  • Being visible, approachable, and engaged, helping guests feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the hotel to ensure smooth operations.
  • Coaching and motivating the team to deliver exceptional guest experiences.
  • Taking pride in high standards, attention to detail, and a job well done.
  • Handling guest satisfaction scores and implementing improvements where needed.
  • Supporting VIP arrivals, loyalty member recognition, and special occasions.
  • Promoting upselling opportunities across all Food and Beverages outlets.

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.
