Job description

Company Description

The Hoxton, Shoreditch – our first hotel – found its home in a former car park, and just like the neighbourhood, has evolved over the years into a fixture of the East London scene. Shoreditch has become one of the most happening areas of London, and we’re bang in the middle of it, with 210 bedrooms, the Apartment, and two in-house restaurants – Hoxton Grill and Llama Inn.

Job Description

What you’ll do…

• Together with our Head Housekeeper, take the lead in ensuring our guests experience spotless and well put together rooms that they want to come back to
• Lead and inspire the housekeeping team by example, creating an environment where they can be themselves, feel supported and empowered
• Take responsibility in keeping our standards for bedrooms and public areas high, through SOPs, relevant training and regular checks
• Get actively involved in the team’s development to realise their full potential, so we grow together as a Hoxton family
• Work closely with other teams (Front Office, Maintenance and F&B) towards the overall goal of creating a memorable experience in a beautiful space
• Play a part in our partnership with our external housekeeping providers

Qualifications

What we're looking for...

• Previous housekeeping experience at a similar level, or someone who is ready to step into a leadership role
• Knowledge of Opera, Knowcross or similar property management systems would be an advantage
• An eagle-eye for detail, you can spot a slip in standards from a mile away
• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get stuff done
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way

• Competitive salary
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension, and life insurance

• Treat yourself once in a while with lots of retail & hospitality perks through our partners
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us
