FRONT OF HOUSE ASSISTANT – Cove By Locke Liverpool We are looking for a friendly, professional, and service-oriented Front of House Assistant to join our on-property hotel team. This role is the first point of contact for guests and plays a key part in delivering a welcoming and efficient guest experience throughout their stay. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey, step on stage and play your part.

Food & Beverage Service (where applicable) · Deliver high-quality service across breakfast, bar, restaurant, coffee bar, and grab & go. · Prepare and serve coffees, drinks, and light food to brand standards. · Host in F&B spaces: welcoming guests, explaining menus, ensuring great experiences. · Maintain cleanliness, setup, and replenishment of F&B areas. · Assist with orders, inventory checks, and receiving deliveries. · Follow food safety, allergens, and hygiene procedures. General Operations & Team Support · Work flexibly across multiple areas depending on business needs. · Support events, activations, and lifestyle programming. · Ensure public areas remain clean, inviting, and on-brand. · Maintain a positive, supportive, and inclusive team environment. · Follow all hotel policies, safety procedures, and brand standards. THE FIRE YOU CARRY · Passion for hospitality and delivering memorable guest experiences. · Positive, energetic, and adaptable personality. · Strong communication skills and confidence in guest interaction. · Ability to multi-task and remain calm under pressure. · Willingness to learn across multiple operational areas. YOUR PROVEN TRACK · Previous hotel reception experience · Experience in food and beverage services · Experience using PMS and POS systems WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
