Job description

The real MVPs of our hotels are the people behind the scenes – keeping our beds fresh, linen stocked, cushions fluffed and all-round cleanliness! As Housekeeping Supervisor at Vibe Hotel Melbourne you’ll seamlessly keep our guestrooms shimmering and our housekeeping team humming. Delegating and leading by example, you’re the expert when it comes to taking care of business (and your team!), with a smile.

No surface goes unturned when you’re on shift – you coordinate the team to attend to guest rooms and conduct all general cleaning, allocating duties as required, ensuring utmost efficiency and alignment to policy and procedure.

You’re athletic, good‑humoured, but no‑nose… in a refreshingly down‑to‑earth way. So are we.

It’s why we want you on our team at TFE Hotels. We’re going places and we value people who wake up with a positive mindset, roll up their sleeves and make the most of whatever comes your way. We want you to help run the show and in return, we promise TFE will be yours to make.
