Night Porter

Hello Margate! Now recruiting for a Night Porter at No.42 Margate by GuestHouse. Are you the kind of person who keeps calm when the town sleeps? Can you glide through the night with the grace of a seagull dodging chips? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our after-dark dream team. Here at No.42 Margate by GuestHouse, we’re a small but stylish, family-run boutique hotel, and we’re looking for a Night Porter who’s equal parts dependable, discreet and delightfully unflappable.

What you’ll be doing: Welcoming late arrivals and ensuring they feel instantly at home. Keeping the hotel secure, serene and spotless throughout the night. Assisting guests with requests (yes, even the quirky ones). Handling hotel banking, including cash reconciliation, balancing takings and completing nightly financial checks.

Preparing for the morning shift and supporting overnight operations. Being the calm presence when everyone else is asleep. What we’re looking for: Previous experience in hospitality or night work (but attitude counts more than titles). A reliable, responsible nature and a knack for quiet efficiency. Someone who can handle a surprise fire alarm or a lost room key with a smile.

Tech-savvy enough to navigate our booking system (even in low light). A sense of humour and a love for Margate’s creative, coastal vibe. If your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your instincts when it comes to hospitality, and you’ve been looking for this kind of role for a while, guess what?

We’ve been looking for you too! What’s in it for you? Be part of a boutique hotel with character, charm and a dash of seaside quirk. Join a small, close-knit team where your ideas matter. Competitive pay and plenty of guest-powered stories. An extra holiday day for your birthday. All breaks are paid. Our team have their own team room, complete with a pantry full of food to enjoy whenever they like.

Grab a snack! You can stay, dine and unwind with your family and friends in any of our hotels, restaurants and spas at a great discount. The joy of making every guest’s Margate stay as memorable as the town itself. Ready to be the unsung hero of the night shift? Apply now and let’s make hospitality history — one peaceful hour at a time.
