What can we offer you?
Can you pass your wisdom to your team?
Join us as Head Housekeeper, and you’ll have the honour of creating the ‘wow factor’ for every single guest that stays at the hotel.

It’s fast-paced work, and you’ll need organisational skills as well as exceptional housekeeping standards. Witness the smiles of guests in hotel corridors, and you’ll feel the immense satisfaction of a job well done.
Of course, as Head Housekeeper, it’s not just hotel guests that you’ll want to see smiling - you’ll also be responsible for the happiness of your team. You’ll lead by example and encourage exceptional standards, maintaining a great team spirit where everybody pulls in the same direction.
For the Head Housekeeper position, previous experience is desirable - we’ll want you to pass your wisdom down to the team. So, as well as taking great pride in the high standards you set, you can also savour the feeling of helping others develop their hospitality careers.
