Receptionist

Job Description

The Receptionist welcomes guests, manages check-ins and check-outs, handles reservations and payments, answers enquiries, and provides helpful local information. Candidates should have strong communication and customer-service skills, a professional and friendly manner, good attention to detail, and confidence using hotel or booking systems. Previous hotel, hospitality, or guest-service experience is beneficial, while fluency in English and the flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays are generally expected. The role suits someone who is organised, calm under pressure, enjoys meeting people, and reflects The Hoxton’s relaxed, welcoming style.

Destination Guide

Ireland offers varied hospitality opportunities in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and resort areas, particularly in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, and guest services. Irish workplace culture is generally friendly, conversational, and team-oriented, with good value placed on reliability and customer care. Dublin provides the widest range of jobs but has high rental costs and competitive accommodation markets. Outside the capital, living expenses may be lower, although transport and job choices can be more limited. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work in Ireland without an employment visa. Non-EEA applicants normally need an eligible employment permit and should confirm that the role qualifies before relocating. A valid passport, accommodation plan, tax registration, and access to a Personal Public Service number are important practical steps. Ireland has mild, changeable weather, strong public transport in cities, and excellent coastal and countryside destinations for leisure.
