Carving out a varied and thrilling career, you’ll be privy to the types of opportunities that will elevate your potential exponentially – and with hotels in more than 120 countries, there really is no saying what the future holds for you.
The role
As a member of our Rooms Operation team, you’ll develop a first-hand knowledge of the guest experience from first contact through to check-out and beyond. Combining discipline-specific training with a leadership-focussed curriculum, you’ll learn in one of our hotels, not a classroom. Benefitting from mini rotations across the team, you’ll have access to our senior leaders and coaches, getting a first-hand understanding of how we set international standards for excellence. And with industry-leading support via customised technology plus social collaboration tools allowing you to network with colleagues globally, you’ll always have someone to bounce ideas off.
The remit
With an overall focus on delivering a consistently incredible guest experience, we’ll share our encyclopaedic knowledge of what makes our guests return to us time and time again. Immersing you in this fascinating world from your very first day, you’ll form part of the supervisory team, developing an insider knowledge of front office, guest relations, reception and housekeeping.

You’ll also champion innovation, and you’ll be quick to come up with creative solutions to problems that might not have an obvious answer. Ready to share initiatives and ideas via your Voyage project, you’ll be keen to take on special projects that will make the most of your new skills. On a practical level, you will have graduated from a university or hotel school within the last year, or you will be due to graduate before September 2021. You will also have the right to work in Rwanda, and you will have exceptional written and verbal communication skills. As a team-player who is highly organised, it would be beneficial if you have previous experience of working within a hospitality environment.
What you’ll get in return
This is a valuable chance to not just take on a job that you enjoy, but a career that you will love. We know that our success stems from our employees, so we’re committed to ensuring that every member of our team finds their natural place with us. As such, we’ll support you with ongoing training and development opportunities, and a benefits package that is second to none, including travel perks, pay day rewards and associate appreciation week. We’ll endeavour to place you in your first-choice of hotel, but with a global network of opportunities just waiting to be explored, we’re confident that you’ll find the challenge that you are seeking at every stage of your working life.
Get ready for the biggest adventure of your life.
