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 hotel operations, including guest check-ins and check-outs, reservations, payments, room allocations, end-of-day financial reconciliation, and preparation of daily reports. The role also involves responding to guest requests, monitoring security and safety procedures, handling emergencies, and ensuring a smooth handover to the morning team. Candidates should have hotel front-office or customer-service experience, strong numerical and administrative skills, attention to detail, and confidence using property-management and payment systems. Availability for overnight, weekend, and public-holiday shifts is expected. A professional manner, reliable work ethic, calm decision-making, and the ability to work independently are important. Previous night-audit experience and relevant Australian work rights are advantageous.
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.
Watch for: The Far North Queensland (Cairns) regional agreement lists waiter, bar and housekeeping supervisors and night auditors, with a pay floor 10% lower.
