Role Overview:
At ETM Group, being a Head Receptionist is a key front-of-house leadership role and an essential part of delivering a seamless, premium guest experience. You are not just managing arrivals, you are setting the standard for the entire reception experience, leading by example and ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued, and looked after from the moment they arrive.
Across our ETM Collection venues from rooftop restaurants to refined dining spaces our Head Receptionists play a vital role in overseeing reservations, welcoming guests, and coordinating the smooth flow of service. You will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the reception area, ensuring bookings are managed accurately, guests are seated efficiently, and the highest standards of guest care are consistently delivered.
Working closely with the management and floor teams, you will support and guide the reception team, helping to maintain a professional, organised, and welcoming environment. This is a hands-on role where you will lead from the front, support the team during busy service periods, and ensure every detail of the guest journey is handled with care and attention.
If you are an experienced Host/ Reception professional with a background in premium dining, strong organisational skills, and a natural ability to lead others, this is an opportunity to take the next step in your career within one of London's leading hospitality groups.
