Receptionist - Full time

Carden Park Hotel
Broxton Road, Chester, Cheshire, CH3 9DQ

Hotel Receptionist

Full Time | 40 Hours per Week | Salary: £26,730 per annum

Be the first smile our guests see

At Carden Park Hotel, we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys creating memorable experiences through exceptional customer service. As the face of our hotel, you'll be the first point of contact for our guests, making every arrival and departure warm, welcoming, and seamless.

You don't need previous hotel reception experience to join us. If you've worked in a customer-facing role and enjoy helping people, we'd love to hear from you. We'll provide the training and support you need to succeed.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days are the same, but your role will include:

  • Delivering a warm, professional welcome to every guest.
  • Checking guests in and out efficiently and accurately.
  • Answering guest enquiries with confidence and enthusiasm.
  • Providing information about the hotel and local area to enhance each guest's stay.
  • Ensuring guest accounts and billing are accurate.
  • Working closely with colleagues to deliver outstanding service at every stage of the guest journey.

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.
