Hotel Duty Manager – Paignton South (Brixham Road) Premier Inn

Join us for an exciting role as a Duty Manager at Premier Inn Paignton South, where you’ll lead a difference in creating seamless, welcoming stays. We’re now recruiting for this essential position.


About the Role

As Hotel Duty Manager, you’ll be responsible for guiding our dedicated team to deliver the exceptional service that makes Premier Inn a household name. This involves overseeing all operational aspects, ensuring safety, efficiency, and a superior guest experience.

Ideal candidates will have leadership experience, particularly in retail or customer-facing roles, where they’ve successfully managed teams and inspired results. If you’re organised, passionate about customer satisfaction, and eager to grow in the hospitality industry, we’d love to hear from you.

An immediate start is available, and previous management experience is highly valuable.

  • Oversee daily front-of-house, housekeeping, and maintenance activities to maintain high standards and safety
  • Prioritise excellent guest experience, handling guest queries with kindness and professionalism
  • Manage administrative duties including staff rotas, rostering, and budget allocation
  • Ensure compliance with health & safety regulations and food hygiene standards
  • Collaborate with the wider team to uphold brand integrity and outstanding service delivery
  • Implement and monitor operational excellence, including key performance indicators (KPIs)

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.
