YHA have amazing properties in some of the most iconic and inspiring places in England and Wales. A team member job with YHA could see you behind a bar 20 metres from the shore of Windermere or changing beds in an 800-year-old castle. And you’ll have plenty of time to make the most of these amazing places in your spare time. Whether you’re an urban explorer, countryside rambler or a seasoned surfer, there’s a YHA for you.

But we’re more than just unique buildings in spectacular locations – YHA is also a charity. By working for YHA, you’d be helping improve access to life-changing travel and adventure.

As a YHA employee you’ll have access to a whole host of benefits designed to make your job as happy and rewarding as possible.

Team Member skills and experience:

Our team member role requires flexibility to cover different shifts and tasks. It’s an advantage but not essential that our team members have worked in a face-to-face role with customers previously. Experience** in hospitality or customer service is desirable.

Duties vary so good communication* skills, excellent timekeeping and basic IT skills are advantages. A food safety qualification is desirable but not essential.

Knowledge and understanding of YHA’s core purpose and experience of working in a team are beneficial.

Team Member  role responsibilities:

Our team members cover a wide range of customer-facing duties throughout the hostel, delivering an excellent service to all guests and visitors so they have a great experience at YHA.

This role concentrates predominantly on the cleaning of our hostel,  but you may be asked to assist in other hostel departments.

Your day-to-day duties may include:

  • cleaning and preparing bedrooms between the departure and arrival of guests.
  • cleaning all shower and toilet areas.
  • keeping the hostel reception and social areas clean and tidy
  • undertaking housekeeping tasks efficiently and effectively, ensuring levels of cleanliness are consistent throughout your hostel and taking a proactive approach to reviewing and maintaining standards
  • complying with YHA requirements in the usage and storage of cleaning products.
  • Reporting faults or damage to a member of the hostel management team.
  • Sorting and distribution of used and unused linen

It’s important to note that the role can be physically demanding; you’ll be standing for extended periods of time, required to make bunk beds and clean guest accommodation to a high standard.

We are YHA.

A 90-year-old charity and social enterprise dedicated to connecting people with nature, the outdoors, culture and heritage through brilliant hostel stays and experiences. We operate hostels and activity centres throughout England and Wales and welcome all but specialise in creating opportunities for young people. As well as memorable holidays and short breaks, we deliver education residentials, group trips, and a variety of volunteering opportunities.
