Housekeeping Manager

Housekeeping Manager: Brand New Opening (Village Hotel Sheffield) 40 Hours PW

There is nothing quite like the buzz of a brand new hotel. Everything is sparkly, fresh, and completely untouched. We are opening Village Hotel Sheffield, and we need a phenomenal Housekeeping Manager to come in, take the reins, and set the absolute standard from day zero.

Just to be crystal clear on timelines: we are moving fast. Interviews are happening week commencing 16th November. You will officially start with us in January, well before the doors open, giving you the time and space to build your department properly before the first guest checks in.

Your Remit: How You Will Run It You are not inheriting someone else's problems or a tired department. You are building this from scratch. To make this opening a massive success, here is exactly how you will need to sequence your focus:

Why Village? At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality and genuine connections. We live by a few simple commitments: We Can & We Do, We Will (no ego, no drama), and We Care.

Previous experience running a large, high-volume housekeeping operation is essential, but your attitude and energy matter just as much to us. If you have the commercial grit to open a new hotel and the emotional intelligence to build a brilliant, happy team, we will give you the total autonomy to run your department.

Ready to Open Sheffield? We are not looking for perfect CVs, we are looking for great leaders who love creating immaculate spaces.

At Village, we are all about personality, ambition, and bringing your real self to work. Diverse perspectives are what keep our business buzzing, so whatever your background, you will find a welcoming place to build your career here.

• First: The Pre-Opening Setup. Starting in January, you will be on the ground before the guests arrive. You will be snagging rooms, unboxing deliveries, setting up your linen pars, managing supplier relationships, and making sure every single inch of the hotel is commercially ready.

• Second: Building the Team. You are recruiting your own people. You will hire, train, and develop your Assistant Housekeeping Manager, Team Leaders, and the wider crew. You get to set the culture immediately, ensuring they are fully engaged, accountable, and ready to deliver outstanding hospitality.

• Third: The Commercial Delivery. Once the doors open, it is all about protecting the bottom line while driving absolute quality. You will manage the payroll, track labour efficiency, control costs across your materials, and execute rigorous room inspections to ensure absolute compliance with health, safety, and brand standards.
