Head Housekeeper:

Too good to ‘turn down’… You are the be all and end all of bedroom standards. You have the final say on whether a room is perfect or not. You’ll be taking responsibility for ensuring that the rooms are cleaned to the required standard during a guest stay or upon their departure. You will be required to manage a team of room attendants, public area cleaners and linen porters to ensure that rooms are ready on time. Check the rooms are styled with an eye for detail and a passion for cleaning whilst motivating the team, allocating daily and weekly tasks, working closely with the maintenance department, and maintain high standards of cleanliness throughout the hotel. Head Housekeeper’s must be organised, an excellent communicator, a hands on manager who has excellent attention to detail. Experience of working in a housekeeping department of a similar quality hotel is required and previous experience of working with Fidelio / Opera is beneficial.
