Job Description

Now recruiting for a Housekeeper at No.1 York by GuestHouse. Do you believe a well-made bed is a thing of beauty? Can you turn a room around faster than a York ghost tour guide on a tight schedule? If so, we'd love to welcome you to our housekeeping dream team. Here at No. 1 York by GuestHouse, we're a small but stylish, family-run boutique hotel, and we're looking for a Housekeeper who's equal parts perfectionist, team player, and behind-the-scenes superstar. Please note this is a part time role of 20 hours per week (approx. 3 shifts).

What You'll Be Doing

• Making beds so crisp they could star in a period drama.
• Keeping guest rooms and public areas spotless, serene, and Instagram-ready.
• Replenishing amenities with flair and precision.
• Reporting maintenance issues before they become mysteries.
• Working closely with the front desk and housekeeping team to ensure every guest feels like royalty.

What We're Looking For

• Previous housekeeping experience (but a great attitude goes a long way).
• An eye for detail and a love for order.
• Someone who takes pride in their work and isn't afraid of a little elbow grease.
• A sense of humour and a love for York's rich history and quirky cham.
• Reliability, discretion, and a dash of sparkle.

If your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your instincts when it comes to hospitality and you've been looking for this kind of role for a while. Guess what, we've been looking for you too!

What's in it for you!

• Work in a stylish, intimate hotel that feels more like a home than a group of hotels.
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of guest-powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• All breaks are paid.
• Our team have their own team room - with their own pantry full of food, to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus, get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.
• The satisfaction of turning a city break into a cherished memory.
