This is the oldest hostel in the net work, favourite amongst hill walkers and climbers and their families. Local knowledge and/or a interest in walking and climbing is essential.

What can YHA offer you?

YHA Bwthyn Idwal/YHA Idwal cottage is somewhere a little different, certainly not your average office. YHA offers a fantastic benefits package including:

• We pay  £10.42 from 1st March 2023, this role is flexible.
• This is a live out position, so only suitable for someone local and you will need your own transport.

What will you be doing as Housekeeping Team Member?

Our team members cover a wide range of customer-facing duties throughout the hostel, delivering an excellent service to all guests and visitors so they have a great experience at YHA.

This role concentrates predominantly on the cleaning of our hostel, but you may be asked to assist in other hostel departments.  Here are some of the things you may be working on:

• cleaning and preparing bedrooms between the departure and arrival of guests
• cleaning all shower and toilet areas
• undertaking housekeeping tasks efficiently and effectively, ensuring levels of cleanliness are consistent throughout your hostel and taking a proactive approach to reviewing and maintaining standards

 

What Skills and Experience do you need to be a Housekeeping Team Member?

It’s an advantage but not essential that our housekeeping team members have worked in a face-to-face role with customers previously. Experience** in hospitality or customer service is desirable but not essential.

Good communication skills are an advantage whilst excellent time keeping is essential.

**We value lived experience just as much as previous skills and knowledge.  We offer a robust induction, ongoing training, and further development, however, some of our roles will have further skills requirements.  It’s an advantage but not essential that our team members have experience volunteering or working with other people.

It’s important to note that the role can be physically demanding; our beds are predominantly bunk bed style.
