Full Job Description

As a Front Office Manager, you'll keep your department running like clockwork and lead your team to ensure our guests have an incredible experience with us. Take a deep breath because you'll be stepping into a busy role! You'll be an integral member of the management team, inspiring a vibrant team to ensure the delivery of exceptional guest service and exceed guests' expectations.

If you're our ideal Front Office Manager, you will:

  • Be yourself!

  • Create a fun and engaged department to deliver on KPIs and support your team to achieve these

  • Have a passion for hospitality and be a role model for your hotel

  • Bring your positive energy to work with you every day

  • Complete Duty Manager shifts as required - take the chance to get involved in other areas of the hotel!


  • Why come join us?

    We look after our colleagues just as well as we look after our guests. Once you're part of the team, you're part of the Leonardo community and it's our role to keep you at the top of your game as a Head of Department (HOD)! Our HODs hold key team leadership roles, so we support your management skills with our "People Programme" and "Passion 4 People Leonardo Culture" workshops.

    To develop vital business and people skills we offer an 8-month "Fast Forward Programme", or if the time is right our longer-term "Accelerate Programme" will prepare you for your first DGM or Operations Manager role! "Accelerate" develops your abilities and expertise at Leonardo Hotels, along with an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) certificate and membership of the Institute of Hospitality (IoH). With our support on tap, top-notch practical training and clear progression you'll be on track for a brilliant future in Hospitality.

    At Leonardo Hotels, our vision is very simple: to be the first choice for everyone who values genuine hospitality.

    Built on decades of hotelier know-how, we are part of the Fattal Hotels Group, which operates over 230 hotels across Europe and Israel. We look after over 50 hotels here in the UK Ireland, and have come a long way since we opened our first hotel in Ireland back in 1993! With approximately 4,000 employees and multiple brands we are a dynamic, innovative and fast-growing company.

    As an employer we put a big emphasis on career development and as a rule we recruit our operations team members for personality- it is all about how you interact with others and how you can demonstrate our values: Consistent, Friendly, Genuine, Positive and Willing.

    At Leonardo Hotels each and every team member is individually valued and respected for who you are. All careers within our hotels offer customer interaction, a great deal of variety, and a fun and friendly working environment. We strive to make all of our hotels great places to work, and get our teams involved in activities such as summer barbecues, Christmas parties, Thank You Week and birthday celebrations!

    We also offer excellent employee benefits, including huge discounts on overnight stays at our hotels as well as performance-based rewards via our Leo Points system- these range from vouchers to a well-deserved day off!

    Built on decades of hotelier know-how, we are part of the Fattal Hotels Group, which operates over 230 hotels across Europe and Israel. We look after over 50 hotels across the UK Ireland and have plans for major expansion over the next few years'; there's never been a more exciting time to join us!
