The Role
When the sun sets and North Melbourne quietens, you’ll be the steady presence ensuring our guests have a seamless, safe, and comfortable night at Drifter. As a Night Host, you’re not just here to oversee operations - you’re the friendly face and guiding light for our night owls and early risers.
Your day-to-day (or should we say night-to-night) includes:
-
Ensuring guest areas are welcoming, secure, clean and tidy.
- Greeting late arrivals with warmth and attending to overnight requests with care.
- Sharing North Melbourne's hidden nocturnal gems with curious explorers.
- Conducting regular safety checks to ensure a restful night.
- Helping keep shared spaces looking great with light overnight cleaning as needed.
- Resetting and resupplying the hostel so it’s fresh and buzzing for the day ahead.
Who We Are Looking For
You’re an independent worker with a knack for creating calm out of chaos. With experience in hospitality or customer service, you’re no stranger to nighttime roles and thrive in a quiet yet dynamic environment.
You’re a natural communicator who can make guests feel at ease no matter the hour, and you bring a calm, confident approach when handling anything unexpected.
You’re tech‑savvy and comfortable using property management systems, adaptable to the unique rhythm of night work, and you share our love for community, travel, and reimagining what hospitality can be.
Why Work with Us?
Drifter is a welcoming and inclusive space where people come together to share stories and new experiences. We welcome guests and employees from all races, places, gender expressions and beliefs to be part of our team.
If you take pride in your work, are committed to excellence and want to be part of a welcoming and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you
