Full job description

About Us:

Urban Nomad is an independent hostel brand with two vibrant locations in Sydney’s backpacker hub — Kings Cross and Potts Point. We’re a home for travellers, creatives, and curious wanderers who love connection, culture, and late-night convos in the common room.

We’re not your average hostel. Think: social vibes, local art, community events, and a space that feels like a second home.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable, and switched-on receptionist to join our small team. You'll be working across both locations and be the welcoming face for guests from all over the world.

Hours:

15–25 hours per week to start, with potential for full-time hours depending on availability and demand.

We’re flexible — open to casual or part-time arrangements.

What You'll Be Doing:

– Checking guests in and out

– Answering guest questions and offering local tips

– Handling bookings, emails, and basic admin

– Light housekeeping and hostel upkeep when needed

– Supporting the vibe — music, energy, and good chats

What We’re Looking For:

– Great communicator with a warm, helpful attitude

– Previous hospitality or reception experience is a bonus (but not a dealbreaker)

– Comfortable with computers / booking systems

– A people person — social, calm under pressure, and takes initiative

– Must have the right to work in Australia

Perks:

– Flexible scheduling

– Work in a fun, social environment

– Free breakfast, occasional staff outtings, and the best chats with travellers

– A team that genuinely values good energy and creativity

Location:

Based across our two hostels in Kings Cross and Potts Point, just a short walk from trains, bars, and the harbour.

If you’re the kind of person who thrives in social spaces and loves the idea of being a key part of a local, traveller-loved hostel — we’d love to hear from you!
