We’re not hiring people to fill a seat or add to our headcount. We’re hiring people to craft our culture, ethos and success. This is a big deal for us, and we know it’s a big deal for you: a new role defines how you spend your days, who you spend them with, and what your future looks like. 

Together, we’ll shape each other’s entire trajectory. That deserves thoughtfulness, empathy and respect. It’s why this job description is deliberately detailed. We want you to know exactly what you’re stepping into. The challenges, the opportunities, the quirks of the role, and the kind of impact you’ll have.

Us

Crafted is a series of life-friendly hotels and spaces where guests can be themselves and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food, wellbeing, craft, people and play. We hope to open several hotels in the coming years, with our first coming in summer 2025: Crafted at Powdermills, East Sussex. 

More specifics will follow as planning and pieces fall into place. So, for now, here’s the sentiment behind Crafted…

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life. To switch to autopilot and go through the motions. We’re busy but not on the things we love doing, we spend more time on our phone, and we misplace our bounce and spark. 

In short, Dr Evil’s stolen our mojo. 

We all need a tune up now and again. To escape to somewhere that makes us feel totally at ease. Not so we can step away from life, but so we can come back to it. This is where Crafted comes in. 

Our aim is to create a network of connected destinations that people come back to again and again because it’s where they feel good about life. Somewhere to work on life, come together, and connect locally.

You

Crafted’s culture will be inclusive and agile but with ambitious goals and a start-up mentality. We need to execute brilliantly from day one and every team member will contribute wherever they are able.

We’re seeking an exceptional Housekeeper to join our team at Crafted. Reporting to Head Housekeeper, you will play a key role in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and presentation throughout guest rooms and public areas. You will help ensure that all guests enjoy a welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully maintained environment during their stay.

That said, as Head Housekeeper, your primary responsibilities will be to:

• Clean and prepare guest rooms, bathrooms, and public areas to the hotel’s high standards.
• Change linens, make beds, replenish guest amenities, and restock supplies.
• Report any maintenance issues or lost property to the relevant department.
• Ensure all cleaning equipment and chemicals are used and stored safely and in accordance with health and safety policies.
• Support laundry duties as required, including collecting, cleaning, and distributing linen.
• Follow daily cleaning schedules and adapt to changes based on occupancy and guest needs.
• Maintain a professional, polite, and helpful manner with guests and colleagues at all times.
• Assist in deep cleaning tasks during quiet periods or scheduled maintenance times.
• Uphold all health, safety, and hygiene standards consistently.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Previous housekeeping or cleaning experience in a hotel or similar environment is preferred but not essential
• A keen eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and presentation.
• Good time management and organisational skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Knowledge of health and safety regulations related to housekeeping and guest areas.
• Flexibility to work shifts, including weekends and holidays.

Together

We hire people with personality who have a desire to continuously learn. Each person should bring themselves to work to shape our culture and keep us real, interesting, and original.

To create a comfortable environment for all, guest and staff, we prioritise teamwork over titles: no one’s too important to lend a hand, or to new to have a good opinion. We need low egos but high expectations: people who are humble enough to jump in, and serious about making an impact.

Three values we’ll expect you to live by:

1. Enjoy it: it’s still work, but if you’re having fun then so are our guests. It’s ok if you’re humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
2. Own it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone’s enjoyment is in your hands. Always keep an eye out.
3. Improve it: ask for feedback (and don’t be scared of what follows), and be curious. We’ll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
