The housekeeping role at Saint James Backpackers is one of the most important functions, as our goal is to ensure our guests have a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
Main Duties:
Housekeeping is responsible for ensuring all rooms and bathrooms are cleaned and kept immaculate. It is hard work but very rewarding in that you will improve:
- your English/ communication skills
- your team-working skills
- your social skills and confidence
- gain experience in the hospitality environment
And get to explore London living on one of the best areas - Kensington and Chelsea. You'll make friends for life in the hostel too.
You must be a hard-working, happy to clean and reliable - and have a good eye for detail. If you're work shy and if cleaning toilets and showers is beneath you then please do NOT join us as we will later be forced to replace you - which is a horrible situation for both parties.
The housekeeping position involves doing a total of 5 shifts per week either:
- 8am-3pm or
- 9am-4pm or
- 4pm-11pm
So you have 2 free days per week.
Each shift comes with an hours break (2 x 15 mins and 1 x 30 mins) so it's a total of 30 hours per week in total.
We offer a comprehensive live-in package which allows travellers to parachute easily into London life comprising:
- accommodation in a shared 8 bed dormitory
- use of laundry facilities (to wash and dry your clothes and bed linen)
- superfast wifi
- free breakfast and free dinner
- free food is available at other times to e.g. cook lunch/snacks. This includes basic foodstuffs such as bread, milk, pasta, rice etc If there's anything else you want ordered that you eat then as long as its reasonable and basic we'll buy it.
Once a week you would help cook the evening dinner together with another member of staff.
