    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.
