House Manager / Host – Artist Residence Brighton
Full-time, min. 30 hours per week | Flexible shifts | Weekend availability essential
Are you a natural host with charisma, energy, and a love for creating unforgettable experiences? Do you thrive in buzzing spaces where service, atmosphere and genuine connection are everything? If so, we'd love you to join us as House Manager / Host at Artist Residence Brighton.
At Artist Residence, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a hotel – we're a neighbourhood hangout, a creative hub, and a place where locals and travellers alike feel right at home. We're looking for someone to bring real presence, charm and flair to the team, and to set the tone for magical guest experiences from check-in to cocktails.
What's the Role?
This is a hands-on, guest-facing role where you'll be right in the thick of it – creating a warm welcome, running smooth shifts, and keeping the energy high. You'll be:
* Hosting guests with charm, ease and genuine warmth
* Bringing buzz and atmosphere to our cocktail bar, especially on busy nights
* Working alongside our GM and team to make every service run seamlessly
* Supporting across the floor - from check-ins and drinks service to creating that "Artist Residence vibe" that keeps people coming back
* Driving sales naturally through great service and personality, never pushy – always authentic
* Keeping a cool head and pragmatic approach while making it all look breezy and effortless
What We're Looking For
We're not hung up on hotel experience - what matters most is your ability to host, connect and create great vibes. You might come from a background as a maître d', head waiter/waitress, host, in chalets or yachts - or anywhere that's taught you how to look after people with style.
* Natural energy, charisma and presence – you light up a room
* Strong F&B or hospitality background with a love for food, drink & people
* A 'rockstar' attitude – reliable, level-headed, pragmatic but with spark
* Sales-savvy through service and personality
* Flexible and adaptable – happy to work a mix of shifts (7am–4pm / 2pm–11pm)
* Weekend availability is essential
Why Join Us?
At Artist Residence, you'll be part of a small, passionate, family-run team who love what they do. We offer:
* Competitive salary
* Min. 30 hours per week, with extra hours available for holiday cover & events
* Staff food on shift & discounts across our hotels, bars & restaurants
* The chance to grow with an independent, creative hospitality brand
* A supportive environment where your personality and energy are your superpowers
If you're a natural host who can charm a room, drive sales through service, and keep calm while bringing the buzz – we'd love to hear from you.
