Job description

Crafted's culture will be inclusive and agile but with ambitious goals and a start‑up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able. We're looking for an exceptional Linen Porter to join our team at Crafted. Reporting to the Head Housekeeper, you will play a vital role in ensuring our housekeeping operation runs smoothly across our large grounds. You will support the distribution, organisation, and movement of linen across multiple buildings, helping the team deliver beautifully presented spaces for every guest.

Responsibilities

• Collecting, transporting, and organising clean and used linen across the grounds, including multiple buildings, cottages, and public areas.
• Ensuring all linen rooms, trolleys, and storage areas are well‑stocked, tidy, and safely maintained.
• Supporting the housekeeping team by delivering linen, towels, and amenities where needed throughout the day.
• Monitoring linen levels and reporting shortages or issues to the Head Housekeeper.
• Assisting with loading, unloading, and sorting laundry deliveries.
• Helping maintain equipment and reporting any faults or repairs required.
• Ensuring all handling of linen, chemicals, and equipment follows health and safety standards.
• Providing support during busy periods, including helping with room or public area tasks when required.
• Upholding a professional, polite, and helpful attitude with colleagues and guests at all times.

Our Values

• Enjoy it: it's still work, but if you're having fun then so are our guests. It's ok if you're humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
• Own it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone's enjoyment is in your hands. Always keep an eye out.
• Improve it: ask for feedback (and don't be scared of what follows), and be curious. We'll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.

About Our Hiring

Together We hire people with personality who have a desire to continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our culture and keep us real, interesting, and original. To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and staff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one's too important to lend a hand, or too new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations: people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in a housekeeping or porter role (preferred but not essential).
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage linen across a wide and varied estate.
• Good physical fitness, as the role involves lifting, moving, and transporting linen throughout the property.
• A positive attitude, reliability, and a strong sense of teamwork.
• The ability to work independently and take initiative.
• An understanding of health and safety best practices.
• Flexibility to work shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.
