The Role

When the sun sets and the city 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 Christchurch's hidden nocturnal gems with curious explorers.
  • Conducting regular safety checks to ensure a restful night.
  • Resetting and resupplying the hostel so it's fresh and buzzing for the day ahead.

Who We're 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 and can make guests feel at ease no matter the hour. You're tech-savvy and familiar with property management systems.

Flexibility is your superpower. You adapt to the unique challenges that come with working nights. You share our love for community, travel, and reimagining what hospitality can be.

You've got a brain for numbers and are comfortable with the details, adept at managing invoices.

Why Work with Us?

At Drifter, we're more than a place to sleep, we're a home away from home where connections are made, stories are shared, and adventures begin. Our team is as diverse as our guests, and we welcome everyone to be part of our inclusive and friendly environment.

Ready to light up the night with us? Apply now and take the first step toward a rewarding role where you make every Drifter's night extraordinary.
