Job Description

Guests at a game lodge in Brackenfell will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Brackenfell-based, with most of your time spent at a game lodge.

What your day looks like

  • Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
  • Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
  • Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
  • Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
  • Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
  • Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
  • Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day

What you need

  • Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
  • Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
  • Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
  • Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
  • Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses

Extra points for

  • Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
  • Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience

On offer

  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
  • Staff accommodation at remote lodges
  • Share of the service charge or guest tips

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy with a recent certification stamp plus CV listing hotels or guesthouses with dates.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Brackenfell.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
  • Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
