Housekeeper

Description

The Royal Castle occupies a landmark location in the heart of Dartmouth. Our award-winning 17th-century hotel enjoys enviable views over the River Dart and offers the perfect place for enjoying a drink and a bite to eat.

You’ll be working in a picturesque corner of South Devon adorned with serene outdoor spaces that will take your breath away. While the waterside offers a restful escape, the town itself buzzes with life, striking a perfect balance that provides something for everyone.

We’re looking for a Housekeeper to join our close-knit team. You’ll provide a warm welcome to guests, keep our rooms looking spick and span, and radiate an enthusiasm for delivering experiences that delight.

About us:

• Creating a warm welcome to guests comes naturally to you, making every first impression count to ensure experiences delight from the get-go.
• Having a wealth of experience in a similar role means you are able to recognise when team members need help and you’ll support where needed.
• You have a keen eye for detail and know cleaning and hygiene standards like the back of your hand. Keeping a watchful eye over customer feedback means you’re always adapting to maintain high standards and improve where necessary.
• You’ll maintain high standards of room cleanliness and servicing, ensuring everything is looking spick and span.
• Peak season can get pretty busy, but you thrive when working under pressure.
• A strong self-belief and enthusiasm spur you to achieve individual and team goals, with a flair for facing challenges constructively.
• You fit straight into a fast-paced, close-knit team.
• Good time management is one of your strengths.
• You feel at ease performing tasks to a tight schedule.
• You have a passion for hospitality and are proud to go above and beyond to provide an award-winning experience.
