Oversee housekeeping systems including rotas, compliance checks, and stock control. This includes using IT software systems.
Ensure all accommodation inventories and checklists are completed accurately.
Monitor operational IT systems (including cloud based software where applicable) for updates or changes affecting housekeeping requirements.
Ensure all compliance documentation (e.g. safety checks, sign-off folders) is completed and up to date.
Work to KPIs.

STOCK, LAUNDRY & SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT:

Oversee stock control for housekeeping consumables and equipment with support from the supervisors.
Monitor laundry operations, including accurate recording of laundry usage and stock movements inline with demand.
