Salary: £19,500–£23,809 per annum (based on age and experience)
Hours: Full-time, includes some weekend and holiday shifts
About the Role
We're looking for a warm, engaging, and quick-thinking Receptionist to be the friendly face of New Lanark Mill Hotel. This is more than a front desk job — it's about making every guest feel welcome from the moment they arrive. If you love people, enjoy good conversation, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
* Greet guests and visitors with genuine warmth and professionalism
* Handle incoming calls with confidence and clarity, directing enquiries smoothly
* Keep the reception area tidy, welcoming, and well-organised
* Use our booking software (training provided) to manage reservations and guest details
* Support the team with admin tasks like data entry, filing, and emails
* Be a helpful point of contact for guests, staff, and suppliers alike
What We're Looking For
* A natural people person — someone who enjoys small talk and makes others feel at ease
* Quick, smart, and confident in handling multiple tasks
* Strong verbal and written communication skills
* Basic IT skills — we'll train you on our systems, but you should be comfortable using a computer and able to pick up new tools quickly
* Previous experience in a receptionist or admin role is helpful, but not essential
* Familiarity with Reslynx is a bonus, but not required
