At Premier Inn, our mission is to help the nation rest easy. As Head Housekeeper you’ll be at the heart of that, managing our hardworking housekeeping teams to make sure every guest has the best possible experience, sleeping in a hotel that’s cleaned to highest of standards.

What you need

• A background as a head housekeeper, housekeeper supervisor or housekeeping manager would be ideal.
• Experience in linen and team management.
• Great communication skills and confidence talking with guests and colleagues.
• Strong systematic thinking and the ability to work to tight deadlines.
• A good eye for detail and top-notch organisation.
• Passion for delivering an amazing experience to our guests.

A great Head Housekeeper always strives for perfection and never settles for anything less. Everything you do will have our guests’ best interests at heart. There is a lot to achieve each day and, though physically challenging, the end results are really rewarding.

What will I do as Head Housekeeper?

Every day will be slightly different. Reporting to your Hotel Manager, your main role will be to make sure each room is ready for our guests to rest easy. You’ll do it by:

• prioritizing your housekeeping workload and connecting across departments to make sure all areas are cleaned and maintained to super-high standards
• managing the rota and labour controls for your housekeeping teams
• keeping on top of the laundry
• running meetings and on-going training with your team, so they’re completely up to speed with cleaning procedures and supported to bring their best every day.
