ASSISTANT LODGE MANAGEMENT COUPLE – Madisa Camp 57 views

Candidates usually need previous hospitality management or lodge operational experience, often with a focus on remote locations. Practical skills in guest services, staff supervision, and basic maintenance are highly valued, with formal hospitality qualifications being a plus.

Daily tasks involve overseeing guest relations, managing lodge operations including front-of-house and back-of-house, and supervising staff. This often includes administrative duties, stock control, and ensuring high service standards in a remote setting.

The work culture emphasizes adaptability, resourcefulness, and a strong work ethic, often requiring long hours and a hands-on approach due to remote locations. Employers expect a high degree of independence, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to providing excellent guest experiences.

Successful Assistant Couples can progress to full Lodge Management roles, overseeing larger or multiple properties. Opportunities for specialisation in areas like conservation, marketing, or training within larger hospitality groups also exist.

Benefit packages often include accommodation and meals provided on-site, given the remote nature of many lodges. Standard benefits generally cover statutory annual leave, and some employers may offer contributions towards medical aid or a pension fund.

Employers seek candidates with strong practical skills, a proven ability to work as a team (especially as a couple), and a genuine passion for hospitality and the Namibian environment. Highlight your adaptability, problem-solving skills, and remote work experience in your CV and cover letter.
