Another Place Hotels – a place to take your hospitality career to new heights. With a team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests. At Another Place, we don't just provide a place for our guests to rest their heads - we create memorable experiences that they'll remember for a lifetime.

Does helping others have the holiday they deserve bring you happiness? Do you love seeing guests smile because of the effort you’ve made? Can you spot problems a mile off and work fast to resolve them? Then you could be the House Host we’re looking for.

An unforgettable holiday experience amidst 18 acres of Lake District National Park, Another Place offers private lake shore and views over Ullswater and the fells. For our guests, how their stay makes them feel is crucial; cared about, looked after, welcome. It’s the heart and soul of our active relaxation concept, made possible by the people on our team. That’s where you come in…

The role:
We need attentive, outgoing individuals with a can-do attitude to make guests feel at home, from first impression on the phone to final goodbye at the end of their stay.

You’ll embody the spirit of Another Place with your friendly welcome, effortless charm and seamless efficiency. And you’ll get a unique insight into all aspects of a busy, award-winning hotel. This balance of customer service and office life brings the best of both worlds, boosts your skillset and ensures working days are never dull.

Guests will remember you for underpinning the happiness that shaped their holiday, and you’ll thrive on it – while taking the next step up the ladder of your hospitality career.
