About You
We're looking for a strong leader with a solid background in accommodation and/ or cleaning management at senior level. This opportunity would be well suited for someone working at a similar level within the hospitality, hotel, or leisure industry. This could also be a great step up for the right person looking for the next step in this area.
Our operation is large and fast paced, so you should enjoy the buzz of this sort of environment and be confident in motivating your teams to work to high standards at pace.
You should enjoy moving between strategic work one day and getting stuck in with your team to turn around rooms the next. You should also enjoy spending time with your team, ensuring that they have development plans in place to fulfil their potential.
Working alongside a team of Heads of Departments, you should be a great networker and communicator, representing your department during all operational discussions.
Whilst your experience is important to us, your mindset, approach and attitude are of equal interest.
