You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience. You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs. You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way. You're a natural people person who enjoys being at the heart of the action and creating memorable experiences for our guests.

You enjoy supporting and coaching others, helping your team feel confident, motivated and set up for success every shift. You stay calm under pressure, can think on your feet and know how to keep things running smoothly, even when plans change. You genuinely care about the little details because you know they're often the things guests remember most. You're organised, proactive and can juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the guest experience. You build great relationships with your teammates and colleagues across the hotel because you know brilliant events are a team effort. Hospitality isn't just what you do, it's who you are. You take pride in creating welcoming, memorable experiences for everyone who walks through the door. You're curious, open to new ideas and always looking for ways to make things work even bette We’re looking for an Apartment Supervisor to make every meeting and event at The Hoxton, Edinburgh feel effortless and unforgettable. Reporting to the Events Operations Manager, you’ll be responsible for creating and delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests. From setting up, running and wrapping-up of day and evening meetings and events. This is an operational role, where you’ll be hands on in the spaces, making sure the guests that use our space have a brilliant experience whether it is for a business meeting or social occasion. We’ve opened our doors in Edinburgh’s charming West End - our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we’re home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all-day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro-inspired cinema, a flexible and super-size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment – our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings. More about us… The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
