We are currently seeking a knowledgeable and enthusiastic Night Porter at Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa, part of Hand Picked Hotels.

Join the team at Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa, a quintessential English retreat where centuries-old charm meets state-of-the-art wellness.

Here, you’ll be part of a warm and welcoming team dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences - from indulgent spa breaks to award-winning dining at Cedar, our renowned 3 Rosette restaurant.

What will the role involve?

Step into a role where every night brings something new.

No two shifts are the same, and your energy and attention to detail will make all the difference.

You’ll also take ownership of the overnight operation, confidently running the night audit and ensuring everything is balanced and ready for the day ahead. Alongside this, you’ll play a key part in keeping our hotel running smoothly, maintaining a safe, welcoming, and secure environment for both guests and colleagues.

Collaboration is essential, and you’ll build strong connections with your team, keeping communication flowing across shifts so everything runs effortlessly.

Above all, this is your chance to be part of a supportive, passionate team where you can truly enjoy what you do.
