Night Porter  – Norton House Hotel & Spa, Newbridge Edinburgh

Are you looking for Full Time Night work? We are recruiting for a Full Time Night Porter to join the team at Norton House Hotel. 

Like our day time reception teams, our night porters are often the first member of Hand Picked Hotels our guests meet when they come to visit, which means you’ll get to make one of the biggest impressions.

You will be able to give a fantastic welcome to any late arrivals getting to know what someone needs before they even know it themselves, leaving them impressed, reassured, and most importantly, feeling at home. It doesn’t matter if they’re first time visitors or returning guests, you’ll charm them from the initial welcome to the “Good Night or Have a safe journey” with your impeccable standards of service.

Ensuring safety and security is a main priority for our night teams but they are also expert all-rounders helping to fulfil many different roles whilst they are on shift, such as working on the bar, cleaning, setting up conference rooms and delivering room service food orders. If you enjoy being busy whilst most other people are sleeping then we would welcome you to apply.

This is a full time role that involves working 40 hours per week over 5 days per week between 10.45pm and 7.15am to include weekends on a rota basis.

What’s in it for you:

  • A share of service charge – 100% of which is split between the team
  • Meals provided on shift or a cooked breakfast after your shift
  • 29 days holiday rising to 33 days with service – we think it’s fair to value loyalty.
  • £30 staff stays with Hand Picked Hotels per room Bed & Breakfast PLUS 25% discount of all food & drink. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds!
  • Annual loyalty awards (like afternoon teas and overnight stays)
  • Working in stunning surroundings and in a property packed with character
  • Free parking on site
  • Online retail discount platform offering thousands of savings with high street retailers and restaurants as well as a health and well-being platform
  • Pension & Life assurance scheme

About you:

  • You’ll enjoy working nights and will have experience of working these hours
  • You’ll be someone who remains calm under pressure and is able to take any challenges in your stride
  • You’ll enjoy making guests feel welcome and at home, and will develop a thorough knowledge of our of hotel products and services
  • You’ll ideally have previous experience working in hotels or in a Night Porter role, but this is not essential
  • You’ll be excellent at building a rapport with new and returning guests
  • You’ll take pride in your appearance, as the face of Hand Picked Hotels
  • Most of all, you’ll have a friendly, welcoming and genuine manner
