Reception Supervisor

Join Team Wotton!

At Wotton House, hospitality is about more than checking guests in and out – it’s about creating experiences people remember.

Set within stunning Grade II* listed gardens in the Surrey countryside, Wotton House is home to everything from weddings and celebrations to relaxing escapes and corporate events. No two days – or guests – are ever quite the same.

We’re bold, welcoming and a little bit quirky. Our approach is simple: “Yes – what’s the question?” We empower our teams to create memorable, personal experiences and bring a little Wonderfully Wotton magic to every guest interaction.

We’re the flamingo in a flock of pigeons.

The Role

As a Reception Supervisor, you’ll play a key role in leading our Reception team and ensuring every guest receives a warm, memorable and seamless experience from arrival to departure.

You’ll support the day-to-day running of Reception, leading by example and helping the team deliver exceptional service with confidence and personality. Whether you’re welcoming guests, supporting your colleagues during a busy check-in or resolving a guest concern, you’ll be there to keep everything running smoothly.

You’ll also work closely with the Reception Manager and wider hotel team to maintain our high standards, develop our people and bring a little Wonderfully Wotton magic to every guest interaction.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supervising the day-to-day operation of Reception, ensuring smooth and efficient shifts

• Leading, motivating and supporting the Reception team to deliver exceptional guest experiences

• Welcoming guests and overseeing seamless check-ins and check-outs

• Handling guest enquiries, feedback and complaints professionally, finding positive solutions

Could This Be You?

We’re looking for someone who is confident, approachable and passionate about delivering exceptional hospitality, with a natural ability to lead and inspire others.

You’ll have excellent communication and organisational skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and solutions-focused in a busy hotel environment. You’ll be comfortable taking ownership, making decisions and supporting your team to deliver their best.

Previous hospitality experience is essential, ideally within a hotel Reception or Front Office environment. Previous supervisory or team-leading experience would be an advantage, but we’re equally interested in individuals who are ready to take the next step in their hospitality career.

You’ll understand the importance of creating memorable guest experiences while ensuring the smooth running of daily operations.

Experience using Opera would be an advantage, alongside a proactive attitude and a genuine passion for developing others.

You’ll also need to be comfortable working a variety of shifts, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

Everyone’s Welcome
