Host/Hostess – full-time

Are you hospitable, service-minded and do you ensure that everything is organised down to the last detail? If so, we’re looking for you!

About the role

As a Host or Hostess, you are the face of our organisation. You ensure that our guests feel welcome and that meetings and events run smoothly and professionally.

For this role, we are looking for a full-time colleague (40 hours per week). You will mainly work at the end of the day and in the evenings, as this is when many of our meetings take place. At the same time, we expect you to be flexible and, where necessary, to provide support during the day as well. Naturally, we’ll try to discuss this with you as far in advance as possible.

No two days are the same: one day you might be welcoming guests to a meeting, the next you might be organising drinks, preparing a room or helping with practical tasks in the office.

What are you going to do?

  • Receiving, welcoming and assisting guests;
  • Preparing function rooms and tidying them up afterwards;
  • Providing coffee and tea service and serving rounds of coffee;
  • Setting up and clearing away refreshments;
  • Checking equipment, such as laptops and projectors;
  • Ensuring the kitchen and public areas are kept tidy and presentable;
  • Ensuring that meetings and events run smoothly;
  • Handling incoming and outgoing post, including processing and dispatching letters and parcels;
  • Carrying out minor technical and facilities-related tasks and reporting faults or defects;
  • Identifying and resolving practical issues that arise during the day;
  • At the end of the evening, securing the premises in a tidy and safe manner.

What do you bring to the table?

  • Experience in the catering, hospitality or facilities management sectors;
  • You are welcoming, presentable and service-minded;
  • You enjoy making sure guests feel welcome;
  • You are flexible regarding working hours and are happy to work regularly in the evenings;
  • You have a good command of Dutch and English;
  • You live in The Hague or the surrounding area;
  • You are independent, reliable and have an eye for detail;
  • You have a practical mindset and enjoy rolling up your sleeves;
  • You have an affinity for facilities management and light technical tasks.

What do we offer you?

  • A full-time role of 40 hours per week;
  • An enjoyable and varied role in a professional environment;
  • A role involving frequent contact with guests and a variety of meetings and events;
  • The opportunity to work for an organisation with a large network of engineers;
  • A unique workplace in an impressive listed building;
  • Terms of employment commensurate with your experience;
  • A pension scheme;
  • 32 days’ annual leave based on full-time employment;
  • A salary ranging from €2,957 to €3,273 gross per month ( ), depending on experience;
  • A wonderful workplace in the centre of The Hague.
