Community Host

As a Community Host, you will staff our reception and be the first person members and visitors meet when they walk through the doors of A house. You are passionate about service and are a key person to ensure relationship building and personalized treatment, something we attach great importance to at A house. It is therefore crucial that you thrive in and are energized by social contexts. We also believe that you are a structured multitasker who likes to check off to-do lists.

The front desk is the hub of the destination, which plays a major role in facilitating collaboration between all members of A house. This, like all roles at A house, needs to dare to develop and challenge traditional ways of doing things. To dare to initiate and act on change so that we are always relevant and true to our common vision.

As the role is culture-building and hands-on, we believe that you will be suitable as a Community Host if you have previous experience from service, retail, café, event, reception or as an office manager.

Other

We currently have no workwear at A house. When you work, you wear a dark top where our mirror pins get nice contrast. We like to see that you have your own personal style, but that you dress “dressed” and whole & clean. We receive all types of guests and therefore avoid too low-cut sweaters or tank tops and sweaters that show the stomach. The clothes need to work for a little more hands on tasks as you may need to run around, lift, carry etc. So preferably something where you can move freely and still look dressed. Mirror A should always be worn when you are on duty.

When handling food, always wear an apron and if you have longer hair, wear it up.

During working hours, you have your private phone put away.

All A house staff are expected to be friendly, professional and to put the satisfaction of members and customers first. As the organization is small, all employees share the responsibility to take responsibility for handling things that otherwise risk falling through the cracks.

Everything we do is permeated by the fundamental goal of the business to create high member satisfaction, profitability, long-term thinking and in all work prioritize sustainability. We work towards clear and challenging goals and carry out our assignments based on A house’s overall goals. We are constantly testing, rethinking and innovating to develop our business and set an example for our members and the international market.
