Night Receptionist | 790 on George Backpackers Sydney

Fuel the Night Life at 790

Are you a night owl who thrives when the rest of the world is asleep? 790 Backpackers is looking for a savvy, reliable, and high-energy Night Auditor to join our team in the heart of Sydney’s Haymarket.

We aren't just looking for someone to sit behind a desk—we’re looking for a professional who can own the night, ensure our guests feel safe, and keep our operations running like clockwork.

What Your Nights Will Look Like

You’ll be the heartbeat of the hostel from sunset to sunrise. Your role is a mix of high-level hospitality and sharp financial auditing:

The Hub: Manage check-ins, check-outs, and guest enquiries with a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude.

The Audit: Take charge of the daily financial "reset," processing balances, auditing transactions, and ensuring our reporting is spot-on.

The Experience: From handling luggage for departing groups to managing emergency responses, you are the face of 790 after hours.

The Tech: Use MEWS (our property management system) to maintain guest history and manage reservations.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Competitive Pay: Earn $30 – $35 per hour (based on experience) plus superannuation.

Central Location: Work in the vibrant Haymarket area with easy access to all late-night transport.

Independence: Take ownership of the night shift in a supportive, medium-sized hostel environment.

Perks: Enjoy employee discounts and a relaxed, global team culture.

What You Bring to the Desk

Night Shift Experience: You’ve done the late-night dance before (1+ years preferred) and know how to stay sharp.

Tech Savvy: Previous experience with MEWS is a massive plus. If not MEWS, you should be a quick learner with Front Office Systems.

Attention to Detail: You can spot a transaction error from a mile away and take pride in accurate reporting.

Reliability: You’re a "superhuman" when it comes to being on time and handling things solo.

Communication: You’re a pro at de-escalating situations and making international travelers feel at home.
