About the Role

Looking for a role where you can meet new people every day, stay busy, and make every guest feel genuinely welcome?

As a Hotel Receptionist at our Welcome Break [Days Inn/Ramada] hotel, you’ll be the friendly face guests see first (and the helpful voice they speak to last!).

From smooth check-ins and check-outs to answering questions and keeping everything organised behind the desk, you’ll help create a great stay for every guest.


Could This Role Be Right for You?

This role could be a great fit if you:

  • Enjoy delivering friendly, welcoming service and helping people feel at ease
  • Can stay calm, organised, and professional when it gets busy
  • Take pride in getting the details right—bookings, payments, and guest requests
  • Like working as part of a supportive team and are happy to learn new systems (full training provided)

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.
