Night Manager

Are you willing to embrace the dark side?

It’s not what you might think – and, guaranteed, more than you expect – if you’re ready to step up as Night Manager at Travelodge Resort Darwin.

We’re looking for a unique all-rounder and quintessential people person. You’re self-assured and level-headed and you shine when the stars come out. We’re talking the celestial kind; although, you’re unequivocally at ease with people from all walks of life, and at every level. 

A natural-born leader, you see the good in people, and bring out the best in everyone around you, yet possess second sight when it comes to reading unexpected situations and problem-solving.  Regardless of what unpleasant surprises may occur, you’ll have it all under control and won’t even break a sweat.

Your team turn to you as the compass for direction and together you lay the groundwork for a smooth day ahead.

No Fear! With you on duty, you’ll ensure no-one misses out on their best day – and night – possible.

At TFE Hotels, we recognise and celebrate your uniqueness, and promise to give more back. So, if you’re looking for a career with no limits, we’re the place for you.
