Careers House Host / Receptionist

We are looking for House Hosts to join Turing Locke, Cambridge. 

Our desire to inspire soulful hospitality is taking us on a journey of evolution and growth, making our presence felt in major cities across the UK and Europe. We entrust our vision, purpose and brand to the hands of our teams. It’s a big responsibility and this is why we seek and develop unique individuals to lead the charge.

In an (overly simplistic) nutshell our House Hosts are;

• Confident, warm and effervescent individuals, focussed on curating an experience that each one of our guests desires from the moment they step over our threshold
• Endlessly curious – reading our guests and adapting approaches to suit the individual and not the masses

But most importantly they are humans like us. We don’t believe in a work persona, we avoid hierarchy and we connect with empathy and honesty.

Our House Hosts don’t shy away from the fundamentals either; they embrace our systems and tech and they are eager to learn and evolve.

When guests return home inspired, with stories to tell and discoveries to share, you will have been successful. They will come back more often and tell others. This will be the tale of Locke.

In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), a host of wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan, Life Assurance, Long Term Income Protection, an Employee Assistance Programme…), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.

But most importantly, we offer you a role in our story and the chance to write your own chapter.

When and Where?

We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility.  Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.

Beyond the gowns. Beyond the gates. Beyond the guidebook. On the cusp of the city, just north-west of the centre, is Turing Locke: a sleek, avant-garde style aparthotel in the brand-new, sustainable district of Eddington. 

This is a full-time role where you will be working 37.5 hours per week, 5 days out of 7
