Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The Housekeeping Coordinator supports the department with administrative and operational coordination, including preparing reports, updating records, handling communication, arranging schedules, following up on room-status information, and assisting supervisors and colleagues. Candidates are generally expected to be UAE nationals participating in the Emiratisation Program, with good English communication, basic computer skills, strong organisation, attention to detail, and a professional service attitude. Previous hospitality or housekeeping experience is helpful but may not be essential for an entry-level opportunity. The successful candidate should be reliable, discreet, customer-focused, comfortable working in a fast-paced hotel environment, and willing to follow Shangri-La’s standards for cleanliness, safety, teamwork, and guest service.
