Receptionist Extraordinaire Wanted

🚐🛏️⛺️ Swiss Army Knife of Hospitality Needed – 3 Days a Week, 30 Hours, All Action 🚀

Location: Christchurch | Hours: 3 x 10-hour shifts (8:30am–6:30pm) incl. every 2nd weekend & public holidays
Type: Part-time | Pay: Competitive + paid for all hours worked

Tents, motels, campervans, kids on sugar highs, guests who’ve just stepped off 17-hour flights... sound like your idea of a good time?

We’re North South Holiday Park, a family-run park just minutes from Christchurch Airport, and we’re looking for a receptionist with stamina, humour, and an uncanny ability to fold a fitted sheet.

This is no sit-behind-the-desk-all-day gig — you’ll be juggling bookings, guest check-ins, phone calls, and keeping our commercial laundry spinning like a pro. One minute you’re recommending the best fish and chips in town, the next you’re sorting towels and king sheets like a linen ninja. If you’ve worked in a hotel, holiday park, or anything hospitality-related, you'll hit the ground running - don't worry we'll hold your hand with our onboarding training to show you how we do things here.

🧭 We’re looking for someone who:

• Can keep cool when 3 phones ring and someone’s lost their cabin key

• Has a memory like an elephant and a “let’s sort this” attitude

• Can work weekends, public holidays & jump into shared rosters (we're open 364 days of the year)

• Isn’t afraid of a busy day (think of it as free cardio) This isn't just a sit down receptionist position but a combination of reception and linen management.

• Ability to manage our commercial laundry which involves moving linen to and from the office to our laundry (close by), folding sheets and towels and ensuring our house-keeping team have what they need to make up the accommodation to a high standard.

• Brings good vibes, problem-solving skills & a love for people

🏕 You’ll be:

• The smiling face at reception

• A booking system whizz (training provided)

• Master of laundry folding (yes, even the fitted ones) - this is a biggie

• Liaising with our housekeeping & maintenance teams

• Helping guests create awesome memories

This job isn’t for the faint-hearted or easily flustered, it can be organised chaos at times — but if you thrive on variety, love the outdoorsy vibe of a holiday park, and can keep calm in a storm of check-ins, then we want to hear from you.
