Reservations Agent

We are currently looking for a passionate Reservations Agent to join the team here at Bankside Hotel - Voted one of the 'Best Places to Work in Hospitality' 3 years in a row. Sitting consistently in the top tier of all the hotels in London on Trip Advisor, Bankside Hotel is a social hub for anyone, guest or local, with a passion for culture, art and food. If this sounds like something you'd like to get involved with we would love to hear from you!
At Bankside, we sincerely believe that the key to any successful brand is the people behind it. Our people bring about the magic and make everything real. If we ensure our people are happy, developed and engaged, they will make sure our guests feel that too, and we consider this feeling, 'Belonging'.
What will you be doing?
+ Responding to communications from guests and travel agents as well as helping process reservations arriving by phone, e-mail and through our central reservations system.
+ Focus on letters of confirmation, cancellations and modifications and communicating these both internally and with guests.
+ Work with the Front Office Team preparing the back-up of expected arrivals after doing daily arrival checks and also taking advance reservation deposits.
+ Maintain standards and have great attention to detail while also having a warm and friendly phone/e-mail manner and a desire for guest satisfaction.
+ Previous experience using Marsha, Opera or the Marriott Suite of programs or within a similar role/hotel would be a benefit but is not a requirement. As long as you have a can-do attitude and an eagerness to learn or get into hospitality then get in touch!
