Job Description

Located at 2044 South Milledge Drive, Athens, Georgia, our company prides itself on fostering a workplace where employees are passionate and truly believe in their work. We are a hospitality-focused establishment, committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences through dedication, customer focus, and a strong team atmosphere. By joining our team, you become part of an organization that values each member’s contribution and strives to maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for all guests. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in everything we do, from the quality of service to the care we put into every detail of our property.

We are currently seeking a diligent and motivated Housekeeper to join our team. The Housekeeper role is essential in maintaining the cleanliness and overall appearance of the property, ensuring that every guest room, hallway, and common space meets or exceeds company standards. This position involves routine and deep cleaning responsibilities, from guest rooms and laundry areas to public spaces, thus playing a vital role in the guest's comfort and satisfaction. The Housekeeper will be expected to work efficiently while adhering to safety protocols and operational procedures to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and presentation. This is a hands-on role that requires physical stamina and attention to detail, as well as a friendly, customer-service oriented approach to every guest interaction.

A typical day for the Housekeeper will involve cleaning guest rooms according to our company’s standard operating procedures, removing trash, dusting and polishing furniture, cleaning kitchen and bath areas, and ensuring that floors are vacuumed and washed thoroughly. Additionally, the Housekeeper will maintain the external appearance of guest rooms, such as cleaning doors and windows, and restock supplies to keep housekeeping carts fully stocked. The role also demands proactive communication with supervisors about safety concerns, guest issues, or any maintenance needs to foster a secure and pleasant environment. Because of the physical nature of this job, candidates must be able to meet physical demands like lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods. Our team offers extensive training and support to help new hires succeed and grow their skills while embracing our culture of passion and dedication.

Joining our team means you’ll be part of a forward-thinking company that understands the importance of work-life balance, offering flexible schedules, Sundays off with no late shifts, and opportunities for full-time employees to access comprehensive benefits. With health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a 401k plan with company match, paid time off, and weekly payroll, we provide a supportive environment for both personal and professional growth. If you take pride in your work, enjoy working in a dynamic hospitality environment, and thrive in a role where your efforts directly impact guest satisfaction, this Housekeeper position is an excellent opportunity to apply your skills and be recognized for your commitment.
