Duty Manager

Be Yourself – Be a Bold Team Player – Be Leonardo  
Once you’re part of the team, you’re part of the Leonardo community of over 55 hotels across the UK & Ireland!

The Duty Manager will direct the strategic initiatives and objectives of the hotel, as well as managing day to day operations through the engagement of the team. All members of the department work together to create memorable moments for guests, in line with both company and hotel-specific service standards, and collaborate closely with other departments within the hotel. You will act as an ambassador for your own hotel and the wider Leonardo Hotels estate, demonstrating the company vision, mission and values. At all times, you will treat others around you with respect, dignity and fairness.

As a Duty Manager, you’ll support the senior operational team to keep the hotel running like clockwork and ensure our guests have an incredible experience with us. Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role! You’ll supervise the day-to-day hotel operations, ensure every stay is extra special and inspire a vibrant team to exceed our guests’ expectations. We’re looking for someone with versatility, who is great at getting stuck in and thrives on the fast-paced nature of Hospitality!

• Have strong operational knowledge with the ability to work across departments as required
• Support other managers with interviews and recruitment- it’s a team effort
