The Role: Elevating the Guest Experience

As a Housekeeping Team Member, your role is central to ensuring every guest enjoys an exceptional stay. Your dedication to cleanliness and efficiency plays a pivotal role in creating a welcoming environment for all guests.

Your Responsibilities

  • Cleaning and preparing bedrooms between guest departures and arrivals, ensuring a fresh and inviting space for our visitors.
  • Maintaining the cleanliness of all shower and toilet areas to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.
  • Keeping the hostel reception and social areas clean and tidy, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
  • Efficiently and effectively undertaking housekeeping tasks, maintaining consistent cleanliness standards throughout the hostel. Taking a proactive approach to review and maintain these standards.
  • Complying with YHA requirements for the use and storage of cleaning products, contributing to our commitment to sustainability.
  • Reporting any faults or damage to a member of the hostel management team, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
  • Sorting and distributing used and unused linen, playing a key role in our guests' comfort.

It's an advantage but not essential for our housekeeping team members to have prior experience in customer-facing roles. Desirable experience in hospitality or customer service is beneficial, and we appreciate the value of lived experiences just as much as skills and knowledge.

Good communication skills are a plus, and excellent time management is essential. Knowledge and understanding of YHA's core purpose and experience working in a team are beneficial.

It's important to note that the role can be physically demanding, as our beds are predominantly bunk bed style.
