We are now building our founding team - the people who will bring Yora Nordic Spa to life and shape our culture from the very beginning. Working at Yora means working in wellness and contributing to a workplace and guest experience that are simple, inclusive, natural and social.

The Opportunity

The Housekeeping Attendant will be part of Yora's founding Housekeeping team, helping prepare and care for the clean, calm and beautifully presented spaces that will welcome Yora Nordic Spa's first guests in November 2026. This role is anticipated to start between mid- and late October 2026.

• Turn over lockers efficiently while maintaining exceptional cleanliness and presentation.
• Keep towels, linens, guest amenities and supplies available when and where they are needed.
• Follow assigned cleaning routines, departmental checklists and deep-cleaning schedules.
• Maintain clean and organized housekeeping, linen and storage areas.
• Replenish guest amenities and supplies according to established levels.
• Handle linens, cleaning products, chemicals, tools and equipment safely and correctly.
• Follow all sanitation, health, safety and workplace procedures.

• Complete assigned opening, operating and closing responsibilities accurately and on time.
• Interact with guests warmly and professionally while completing work discreetly in occupied areas.
• Work collaboratively with Housekeeping, Maintenance, Front Desk and other departments to keep spaces guest-ready.

• Reliability, good judgment and pride in creating calm, clean and restorative spaces.
• First Aid and CPR certification are considered assets.
