Senior Housekeeping Supervisor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Senior Housekeeping Supervisor is responsible for coordinating daily housekeeping operations, allocating rooms and duties, inspecting guest rooms and public areas, and supporting the Housekeeping Manager. Candidates are expected to have previous hotel housekeeping or supervisory experience, strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a good understanding of cleanliness and service standards. The role requires the ability to lead and motivate a diverse team, train colleagues, manage priorities during busy periods, and respond professionally to guest requests. Good communication skills and flexibility for shifts, weekends, and public holidays are essential. Experience in a luxury or international hotel environment is advantageous, while knowledge of health, safety, and laundry procedures would be valuable.
