Something New Is Taking Shape

Opening in November 2026, Yora Nordic Spa is a place to pause, reconnect and experience wellbeing through nature, hydrotherapy and authentic human connection. It is a space where our team will create thoughtful and welcoming experiences that help guests reconnect with themselves, with others and with the natural world around them.

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 Supervisor will be part of Yora's founding Housekeeping team. Working alongside the Housekeeping Manager, this role will help prepare and support the team responsible for creating the calm, clean and beautifully presented spaces that will welcome Yora Nordic Spa's first guests in November 2026. This role is anticipated to start in mid-October 2026.

The Housekeeping Supervisor brings the Yora guest journey to life, one space at a time. This hands‑on role leads day‑to‑day housekeeping operations during assigned shifts, coordinates work assignments, inspects guest and back‑of‑house areas, coaches team members and ensures every environment consistently reflects Yora's standards.

What You Will Do

• Lead the Housekeeping team during assigned shifts and coordinate daily assignments and priorities.
• Inspect change rooms, washrooms, relaxation spaces, hydrotherapy areas, treatment‑support areas, Bistro spaces and public areas throughout each shift.
• Ensure cleaning schedules, inspections and quality standards are consistently completed.
• Respond immediately to cleanliness concerns and service‑recovery opportunities.
• Monitor linen levels, guest amenities, cleaning supplies, chemicals and housekeeping equipment throughout the day.
• Lead daily quality inspections, correct deficiencies promptly and ensure presentation standards are maintained throughout operating hours.
• Ensure deep‑cleaning programs and scheduled cleaning tasks are completed according to plan.
• Provide daily coaching, feedback and hands‑on support to Housekeeping team members.
• Assist with onboarding and training new Housekeeping team members.
• Recognize outstanding work while reinforcing accountability, teamwork and Yora's housekeeping standards.
• Partner with Maintenance and teams throughout the spa to address deficiencies and deliver a seamless guest experience.
• Support efficient labor deployment and responsible use of linens, supplies, chemicals and equipment.
• Identify opportunities to improve productivity, organization, presentation and guest comfort without compromising quality.
• Use inspections, guest feedback and operational observations to continuously improve daily performance.

What You Bring

• Two to four years of housekeeping experience in hospitality, wellness, luxury hotel or a premium guest‑service environment.
• Previous leadership or supervisory experience is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of cleaning systems, sanitation standards and facility presentation.
• Excellent attention to detail and a passion for creating calm, clean and beautifully presented environments.
• The ability to lead by example while remaining actively involved in inspections and housekeeping duties.
• Strong organization, coaching, communication and problem‑solving skills.
• The ability to prioritize work in a fast‑paced environment while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
• A visible, approachable and hands‑on working style.
• A commitment to continuous improvement, teamwork and guest satisfaction.
