We're looking for team members to join us on 10 - 42.5 hour flexible contracts for the 2024 season.
What can YHA offer you?

We pay £11.44 per hour (this is a fixed term role on a temporary contract)
You will get access to YHA’s staff discount and cash back portal
Free YHA Membership each year
10 nights free hostel stays per year for you and up to 3 friends or family
There’s lots more benefits to working for YHA so please visit our YHA Jobs website to find out more.
What will you be doing as Housekeeping Team Member?
Our team members cover a wide range of customer-facing duties throughout the hostel, delivering an excellent service to all guests and visitors so they have a great experience at YHA.
This role concentrates predominantly on the cleaning of our hostel, but you may be asked to assist in other hostel departments. Here are some of the things you may be working on:
Cleaning and preparing bedrooms between the departure and arrival of guests
Cleaning all shower and toilet areas
Keeping the hostel reception and social areas clean and tidy
Undertaking housekeeping tasks efficiently and effectively, ensuring levels of cleanliness are consistent throughout your hostel and taking a proactive approach to reviewing and maintaining standards
Complying with YHA requirements in the usage and storage of cleaning products
Reporting faults or damage to a member of the hostel management team.
Sorting and distribution of used and unused linen
What Skills and Experience do you need to be a Housekeeping Team Member?
It’s an advantage but not essential that our housekeeping team members have worked in a face-to-face role with customers previously. Experience** in hospitality or customer service is desirable but not essential.
Good communication skills are an advantage whilst excellent time keeping is essential.
Knowledge and understanding of YHA’s core purpose and experience of working in a team are beneficial.
**We value lived experience just as much as previous skills and knowledge. We offer a robust induction, ongoing training, and further development, however, some of our roles will have further skills requirements. It’s an advantage but not essential that our team members have experience volunteering or working with other people.
It’s important to note that the role can be physically demanding; our beds are predominantly bunk bed style.
How do you apply?
Submit your CV and complete the application form (it’s a short one, we promise!). If you need any assistance, please visit the contact page on the YHA Jobs website and someone from the team will help you.
Who are YHA?
If you would like to find out more about YHA the charity, the culture, the heritage and so much more please visit our jobs website.
YHA’s core strategic priority is access for all. It is a fundamental part of our charitable objects and the foundation upon which our 90-year history is built. We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone.
