Job description
As a successful, award winning, expanding company, we are looking to bring on more driving housekeepers to join our team.
This role will suit someone who either has previous housekeeping/cleaning experience or someone who is looking to learn and develop their skills. We will teach you how to make a bed, using hospital corners. We'll teach you how to clean a bathroom to shine the taps and keep the mould away. We'll show you how to prepare the kitchen so that everything is sparkling and ready for the new guests. You'll build pride in your work and feel satisfied by the great reviews you get from guests and the way you leave the flat looking so wonderful. The successful candidates will be willing to learn, willing to work hard, be flexible about their work, and be ready to work as part of a great team.
As one of the housekeeper drivers you will work fairly independently cleaning properties in East Lothian, Midlothian, and in Edinburgh where there is parking available. You will definitely need to work on a Saturday, and you will work on a flexible rota system through the rest of the week. Depending on the hours you are looking for, you can work from 16 hours to 40 hours a week. Our busiest days are Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday so we do ask for availablity on at least 2 of those days. Depending on the hours that you want to work you'll clean up to 3 apartments a day depending on their size and locations, and you'll do everything in that clean - strip and make beds, dust & hoover, clean bathrooms top to bottom, clean kitchens, including glasses, cutlery, ovens, microwaves and fridges. You'll check for damages, and report anything you've found. You'll make sure the heating control is adjusted and you'll leave the property looking sparkling and ready for a holiday maker to come and relax into their holiday.
Our housekeepers receive their hourly wage from the start of their first clean to the end of their last (so it includes travel time between cleans). You'll have use of a company vehicle that is kept at the office over night, you'll receive holiday pay, and company pension. We provide training and guidance.
Our aim is to ensure the properties we clean are ready and welcoming for guests to come and stay and feel at home when away from home. We need to make sure when they come to stay with us, everything is as it should be.
If you would like to come and join our team, and get involved in making guests feel welcome and happy in our apartments then please get in touch straight away. We have positions available for immediate start and to suit any variation of hours.
Applicants will also need to apply for a basic disclosure, provide 2 references, their right to work in the UK documentation and a CV.
