We have a vacancy for a Hotel Housekeeper at The Old Deanery, Ripon
The Old Deanery is an 11-bedroom hotel in the heart of Ripon in the shadows of Ripon Cathedral. The property is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and is open from lunchtime on Wednesdays through to Sunday afternoon for drinks and overnight stays.
We are seeking a housekeeper to clean our 11 bedrooms to a high standard. Previous experience of housekeeping for a hotel is essential.
The hours will be approximately 25 hours per week, working from Wednesday – Sunday. The hours are roughly 10am – 3pm, but there is a degree of flexibility in this, as long as all rooms are serviced by our check-in time of 3pm.
As a small property which is closed 2 days a week (Monday and Tuesday) you will be the sole housekeeper, and responsibilities will include:
- Arriving to work and receiving a housekeeping sheet with the day’s departures, arrivals, stay-overs, and special requests
- Stripping dirty rooms of linen, dirty crockery, emptying bins etc
- Thorough cleaning of the bedrooms and bathrooms, including safe use of chemicals
- Resetting the room with amenities such as toiletries, tea and coffee etc
The rate of pay is between £13.50-£14 per hour depending on experience, and what you can offer above basic housekeeping and cleaning, for example, ordering your own linen and cleaning chemicals from our suppliers, and taking initiative with regards to deep cleaning tasks as-and-when time permits and is required.
Please note that The Old Deanery has mandatory shutdowns (business closures throughout the year) and employees must use their holiday entitlement for these periods. The hotel is closed on Christmas Day and usually the surrounding days, then the other seasonal closures are usually as follows (set annually); 2 weeks in January, 1 week in May, 1 week in September or October, and 1 week for Christmas. This leaves a few holiday-days spare for personal commitments.
There is no staff parking on-site so the idea applicant will be able to arrive on-foot, or use nearby on-street parking or nearby paid parking.
£13.50-£14 per hour (depending on experience)
