Role summary

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

The House Porter supports the housekeeping and hotel operations teams by transporting linen, cleaning supplies, guest amenities, luggage and other materials throughout the property. Typical duties include maintaining service areas, replenishing supplies, assisting room attendants, removing waste and responding promptly to operational requests. The role requires strong physical stamina, attention to detail, good organisation and the ability to work on foot for extended periods. Previous hotel, housekeeping or porter experience is useful, though a positive attitude and willingness to learn may be equally important. Candidates should present a professional appearance, communicate courteously with guests and colleagues, follow health and safety procedures, and work flexibly across shifts, including weekends and public holidays. As a pre-opening position, adaptability and enthusiasm for helping establish high service standards are particularly valued.
