Bay Hotel – a place to take your housekeeping career to new heights. With a
team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all
about making a meaningful impact on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values

Do
you like being independent, and setting your day to your own music or stories?
Does routine make your day fly by and do you relish the fulfilment that comes
from working hard and finishing things well? Do you love the good night’s sleep
and fitness benefits brought about by a focused and motivated shift? Do you
enjoy ocean views, breaks on the sand, and surfing after work? If so, we want
you! Join us and be part of a team that values connection, creativity, and
making a positive impact on people's lives.
The
role:
We’re looking for lively, attentive, and energetic people to join our welcoming
housekeeping team. Our housekeeping assistants prepare guests’ rooms for their
arrival, take care of their laundry, and play a vital role in ensuring the
hotel is clean, safe and looks first-class every day.
You’ll
be most content working behind the scenes, but warm and friendly with everyone
you meet and feel valued in your team. You’ll understand the importance of the
work you do and will be proud when you notice and fix even the smallest of details.
Trust makes our team strong and happy. Once you’re trained up and confident
you’ll become a housekeeper and be given the space to manage your own list,
with contracted hours and the opportunity for overtime if you want to do more.
This
is a permanent position with all the benefits that comes from being part of our
core team. In return for your enthusiasm and commitment, you’ll find yourself
in a supportive group of likeminded people with a shared outlook on life, where
friendship, connection, flexibility, variety and challenge make every working
day worthwhile. Oh and did we mention the beach is on your doorstep?
Joining
our team means being part of a community that values excellence, innovation,
and kindness in everything we do. Our commitment to our staff is reflected in
our exceptional working environment - one that promotes work-life balance,
professional development, and plenty of opportunities for growth.
