About the job
We are looking for a part-time House Host to join Ember Locke, Kensington.
Our desire to inspire soulful hospitality is taking us on a journey of evolution and growth, making our presence felt in major cities across the UK and Europe. We entrust our vision, purpose and brand to the hands of our teams. It’s a big responsibility and this is why we seek and develop unique individuals to lead the charge.
In an (overly simplistic) nutshell our House Hosts are;
Confident, warm and effervescent individuals, focussed on curating an experience that each one of our guests desires from the moment they step over our threshold
Endlessly curious – reading our guests and adapting approaches to suit the individual and not the masses
But most importantly they are humans like us. We don’t believe in a work persona, we avoid hierarchy and we connect with empathy and honesty.
Our House Hosts don’t shy away from the fundamentals either; they embrace our systems and tech and they are eager to learn and evolve.
When guests return home inspired, with stories to tell and discoveries to share, you will have been successful. They will come back more often and tell others. This will be the tale of Locke.
In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), a host of wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan, Life Assurance, Long Term Income Protection, an Employee Assistance Programme…), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.
But most importantly, we offer you a role in our story and the chance to write your own chapter.
When and Where?
We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.
This is a part- time role where you will be working 19 hours per week.
This role is based at Ember Locke, Kensington.

✨ At Edyn we believe travel should be a rich journey of discovery, rewarding curiosity with knowledge and inspiration.

Our distinctively designed Aparthotels and Serviced Apartments are firmly rooted in their local neighbourhoods across Europe, offering vibrant experiences and connections that nourish and enliven the soul.
We call it ‘soulful hospitality’ 💚
We’re a rapidly expanding business with plenty more room to grow!
Start here. Go anywhere.
We don't do ordinary hotel experiences. We don't do ordinary careers either. We're creators of urban sanctuaries across Europe where free-thinkers belong. We call this soulful hospitality. That's why we look for people with soul. People who bring their whole selves to work.
We reject the idea of a ‘work’ persona which is at odds with the way we really are. Conformity is the enemy of creativity, innovation and change. It’s the freedom to be ourselves that keeps us alive and engaged at work and play. But it takes courage to be an individual, to challenge convention and look for different, better ways to do and to be. It takes courage to accept accountability and to empower those around us.
Join us and you'll find a place where you can be you and where you can belong.
