Location: Chessington World of Adventures Resort Leatherhead Road Chessington Surrey KT9 2NE

Here at Chessington World of Adventures we are recruiting for a Night Duty Manager to join our Hotel Nights team!

With tens of thousands of guests visiting our two hotels each year, you’ll play a key role as Night Duty Manager in ensuring every overnight experience lives up to the standard our guests know and love.

From warm welcomes at check-in to cheerful check-outs and pillow deliveries, we’re dedicated to creating unforgettable family short breaks in a fully immersive themed setting. Every guest interaction is crafted with care, ensuring magical memories are created and exceptional service is delivered.

This role goes far beyond the office! As Night Duty Manager, you’ll lead the team overnight, from 9:30 PM to 7:00 AM, maintaining the highest standards every day. You’ll take full ownership of mentoring and auditing front-line team members, encouraging them to take pride in their work and strive for excellence. Fast paced and innovative, you’ll ensure the Hotel Night Audit process runs with precision and efficiency. Working closely with the Front Office Manager, you’ll also serve as a source of guidance—teaching essential service skills, supporting guest interactions, and helping the team confidently represent the Resort.

The role is permanent, working a minimum of 20 hours per week. Flexibility is required to meet our business needs as you will also support the wider Hotel Operation team. As a standard in leisure hospitality, we will be busy at weekends and at key holiday times, this must be reflected in your working schedule.
