The bit about us:
The Arding Rooms is x+why’s newest private members’ club, located in the beautifully restored Arding & Hobbs building in the heart of Clapham Junction. Featuring a stylish restaurant, bar, meeting and event space and a stunning roof top terrace (with amazing views of London's skyline), we aim to deliver exceptional experiences for our members and their guests.
Our Club has Art Deco character with a modern, creative spirit, and are really proud to have created an award winning space where high-end hospitality meets community, comfort and style.
Open 7 days a week, this role mainly covering evenings and weekends, with the occasional daytime shift. This is a variable contract offering approx. 35–40 hours per week, at £14 per hour + service charge.
The bit about the role:
First impressions matter, and as our Host you’ll be a highly visible brand ambassador, setting the tone for every member and guest experience from the moment they arrive.
You’ll support the General Manager and wider team with member and guest enquiries, as well as coordinate bookings for restaurants and meeting rooms, manage RSVP tracking, generate QR codes for events and assist with event collateral (menus, name cards, etc).
The bit about you:
You are friendly, approachable, and naturally put people at ease. You take pride in your ability to quickly build genuine relationships with anyone you meet.
Highly organised and resourceful, you’re the “glue” that keeps things running smoothly. You stay calm under pressure and are trusted to get things done.
You are known for your uncanny ability to remember names and faces and genuinely love connecting with new people (and their four legged friends).
You bring kindness, professionalism and composure to every interaction - even when things get a little chaotic!
Experience within a premium hospitality, hotel, or private members’ club environment is preferred.

x+why provides flexible workspaces to a community of purpose led entrepreneurs and businesses.
We are home to businesses of all sizes, from all sectors. Businesses that have a common goal – to make a difference. They understand, or want to understand, the revolution that is taking place in the workplace; the link between purpose, people and profit. By inspiring businesses to seek out and deliver on their purpose we help them attract best in class talent, build better relationships with customers and suppliers, make a positive impact in society and make more profit.
x+why does this by working with landlords to design, manage and operate inspirational and flexible workspaces, which champion purpose as well as profit. Imagine a workspace where ideas are shared, employees are engaged, well being and technology are central, plans are hatched and social impact is achieved.
Together, under one roof, we can do more.
