Night Auditor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Night Auditor manages overnight front desk operations, completes end-of-day financial and occupancy reconciliations, processes guest arrivals and departures, handles reservations and payments, and prepares daily reports. The role also requires responding to guest requests, monitoring hotel security, addressing emergencies, and ensuring a smooth handover to the morning team. Candidates are generally expected to have hotel reception or night audit experience, strong numerical and computer skills, attention to detail, professional communication, and the ability to work independently overnight. Familiarity with hotel property-management systems and Australian work rights is usually preferred. Reliability, calm decision-making, customer service skills, and flexibility to work nights, weekends, and public holidays are important.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Only Core Skills list jobs (chef, cook, hotel manager) can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423 a year or more; waiters and room attendants are not on the list.
