Job Description

Hotel Room Attendant - Apollo Hotel Birmingham

Part-time, on-site o Hands-on housekeeping role in an independent hotel

Do you take pride in clean, tidy and welcoming spaces?

At

Apollo Hotel Birmingham

(126 bedrooms, conference & banqueting, minutes from the city centre), we're looking for a

Hotel Room Attendant

to join our small, friendly, owner-managed housekeeping team.

Because we're an independently owned, single-site hotel, this is a genuinely hands-on, all-round role - you'll play a key part in making sure every guest enjoys a clean, comfortable and pleasant stay.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with the Housekeeping Supervisor and your colleagues, you will:

Clean guest bedrooms and bathrooms

to a high standard, including dusting, vacuuming, polishing and sanitising. Maintain

public and common areas

(corridors, stairways, etc.) so they are always clean, safe and presentable.

Change and replenish bed linen, towels and guest amenities

in line with hotel standards and checklists. Undertake

regular deep-cleaning tasks

(e.g. skirting boards, behind furniture, high-level dusting, descaling, spot cleaning carpets).

Restock and maintain linen cupboards

on a daily basis, keeping them tidy, organised and secure.

Report any missing, damaged or faulty furniture, fixtures and equipment

to the Housekeeping Supervisor and follow up to ensure issues are resolved. Check that

all equipment in guest bedrooms

(TV, lights, heating, etc.) and the tools you use are in good working order and report any defects.

Dispose of waste

and used items safely and correctly, in line with hotel guidelines. Handle

guest requests

(extra pillows, towels, amenities, etc.) in a friendly, timely and efficient manner. Comply with

hotel security procedures, fire regulations and all Health & Safety requirements

, including safe use of chemicals and equipment. Follow

lost property procedures

carefully, ensuring all items found are recorded and handed over correctly.

Assist other departments

(e.g. Reception or Food & Beverage) when needed, helping the hotel run smoothly as one team. Maintain

good working relationships

with colleagues and contribute to a positive, supportive working environment.
No two days are the same - rooms, guest requests and priorities can change, so you'll need to stay organised and calm while keeping standards consistently high.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, has a great eye for detail and enjoys being part of a busy hotel team.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience as a

Room Attendant / Housekeeper

in a hotel or similar environment (training can be provided for the right candidate with the right attitude). A keen

eye for detail

and high personal standards for cleanliness and presentation. The ability to

work efficiently and manage a busy workload

, while still maintaining quality.

Flexibility to work on any day of the week

, including weekends and bank holidays, with early starts and/or late finishes as required. A friendly, professional manner when dealing with guests and colleagues. An understanding of

basic Health & Safety and safe chemical use

(or a willingness to learn and follow training carefully). Reliability, good timekeeping and a positive, "can-do" approach to work.

What we offer

A

part-time role

in a well-established, busy 3-star independent hotel.

Competitive pay

(hourly rate depending on experience and skills).

All information you provide will be treated with the
