- Manage inventory control for cleaning supplies, linen, and amenities, placing orders in a timely manner to prevent shortages and control costs effectively.
- Train new team members on proper cleaning techniques, chemical usage, safety procedures, and the client’s specific service standards, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Act as the primary point of contact for housekeeping-related issues, liaising with other departments (e.g., maintenance, front office) to resolve problems swiftly and maintain seamless operations, demonstrating exceptional problem-solving skills.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a housekeeping supervisory or team leader role within a hotel, hospital, corporate facility, or similar environment. Experience in Felixstowe or the surrounding Suffolk area is a distinct advantage.
- Strong leadership and interpersonal skills with the ability to manage a diverse team, delegate tasks fairly, and provide constructive feedback to drive performance.
- An unwavering commitment to high standards, with exceptional attention to detail and a thorough understanding of modern cleaning methods and infection control protocols.
- Excellent organisational and time-management abilities, capable of working under pressure in a fast-paced environment. A flexible approach to shifts, including weekends, is essential for this immediate start role.
