Are you looking for a fun and varied job in hospitality management?
We’re looking for a confident and adaptable Night Duty Manager to oversee operations across five vibrant London locations: YHA London Central, YHA London Thameside, YHA London Earl’s Court, YHA London St Paul’s, and YHA London Lee Valley. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives on variety. Instead of being based in a single property, you’ll experience the energy and character of multiple sites across the capital—from the buzz of central London to the calmer surroundings of Lee Valley.

It’s ideal for someone who values independence, variety, and the unique atmosphere that each hostel brings.
As a Night Manager you’ll support the Hostel Manager with the day-to-day management of the hostel. You’ll create a great place for our teams to work and ensure our guests have a great experience in our hostels.
