Housekeeper

Penally Abbey is an independently run 12-bedroom boutique hotel by the sea in South Pembrokeshire. The Boissevain family took over the hotel back in 2014 and have spent the past 8 years extensively renovating the beautiful building. We are incredibly proud of our brilliant, hard-working team who bring our vision to create a relaxed, cosy hotel by the sea to life.

The hotel is now fully reopened after being closed for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as a major fire. The cleanliness of the whole hotel is our primary focus for both our guest and staff's safety.

Responsibilities:

• Ensuring all bedrooms, bathrooms and public spaces at the hotel are fresh, clean and look lovely ready for guests arriving and guests staying.
• Working quickly and efficiently without disturbing guests.
• Closely following all safety and sanitation procedures throughout the hotel.
• Working closely with the hotel reception team to ensure guest requests are met and their expectations exceeded.
• Liaising with reception to let them know when rooms are ready for check-ins.
• Assisting all departments within the hotel to maintain exceptional levels of cleanliness.
• Laundry duties including cleaning, drying and pressing all linen.
• Ensuring all laundry machinery is well looked after and used safely.
• Working closely with Kelly (head housekeeper) and Mel (owner) to ensure all products used in rooms and for cleaning are fully stocked.
