Job description
Be you. At work.
Here at Locke, we create spaces where you can be you – and we don’t just mean our design-led aparthotels. From front desk to back office, on-the-ground to behind-the-scenes, our team makes Locke what it is. Forget demographics: we’re building a community of the culturally curious. The forward-thinking. The ever-questioning.

- Being on-call for maintenance needs, including out-of-hours on a rota system
- Supporting management in staying on top of health and safety duties
- Managing new building works and projects, including supporting on refurbishments
- Liaising with and managing contractors
What you'll need;
- Ideally experience in a customer-facing role
- Practical knowledge of plumbing, gas or electrics (trade qualifications a plus)
- Intuitive customer service skills
- Brain built for problem solving
- Good decision-making skills
- Confidence to act quickly and take smart risks based on insight
Values you’ll share;
- Courage to question, evolve and be human
- Curiosity to seek out innovation, change and creativity
- Confidence to challenge convention and look for better ways to do and be
- Accountability and the desire to empower those around you
- Freedom to be yourself at work, just as much as at play
- Acceptance that perfection doesn’t exist and no one has a monopoly on good ideas
- Recognition of humanity in yourself and others to learn fast, evolve and grow
In return we offer you a bonus scheme, holidays (including the option to buy more if you want them), wellbeing benefits (Cash Plan and an Employee Assistance Programme), free nights in our properties, awesome recognition schemes, pension (the tax efficient way), company sick pay and further benefits tailored to your individual needs.
When and Where?
We believe in working flexibly – this includes flexibility in work location, working days (including weekends and bank holidays in operations) and working hours. This may be ad hoc or permanent flexibility. Ask your recruiting manager or see our careers page for more information.
This is a full-time role where you'll be working 37.5 hours per week, 5 days out of 7.
