The Machrie 

Facing the Atlantic, with unbroken views of dunes, sea and sky, lies The Machrie on the Isle of Islay. A contemporary hotel with 43 beautifully designed rooms, suites and family lodges, a world-class golf links, restaurant, outside sauna and hot tub garden, screening room and modern art collection.

Far-stretching empty sands. Cool clear waters inviting you in. On Islay, one of the easiest to reach islands off the west coast of Scotland, adventure and a landscape teeming with wildlife await. 

With a team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests. 

Our Housekeeping Assistant role: 

We’re looking for lively, attentive, and energetic people to join our welcoming housekeeping team. Our housekeeping assistants prepare guests’ rooms for their arrival, take care of their laundry, and play a vital role in ensuring the hotel is clean, safe and looks first-class every day.

You’ll be most content working behind the scenes, but warm and friendly with everyone you meet and feel valued in your team. You’ll understand the importance of the work you do and will be proud when you notice and fix even the smallest of details. Trust makes our team strong and happy. Once you’re trained up and confident you’ll become a housekeeper and be given the space to manage your own list, with contracted hours and the opportunity for overtime if you want to do more.

This is a permanent position with all the benefits that comes from being part of our core team. In return for your enthusiasm and commitment, you’ll find yourself in a supportive group of likeminded people with a shared outlook on life, where friendship, connection, flexibility, variety and challenge make every working day worthwhile. Oh and did we mention the beach is on your doorstep?

Joining our team means being part of a community that values excellence, innovation, and kindness in everything we do. Our commitment to our team is reflected in our exceptional working environment - one that promotes work-life balance, professional development, and plenty of opportunities for growth.

As our Housekeeping Assistant you'll be:

• Working through your allocated bedrooms and suites in good time
• Making sure guests always find clean and inviting accommodation
• Following our procedures for signing keys in and out daily
• Keeping all corridors outside rooms clean and clutter-free
• Making sure linen cupboards stay clean and tidy
• Following all health and safety, manual handling and COSHH procedures
• Giveing new team members a helping hand, and support their training and development
• Working together, as part of our committed, efficient and dynamic team
  

What we’ll offer you:

• A relaxed, professional place to work in a beautiful location – Islay ‘the queen’ of the Hebridean archipelago off the west coast of Scotland
• Excellent career prospects in an ever-expanding organisation
• Special rates for you and your friends & family to stay at Another Place Hotels and Watergate Bay Hotel
• Discounts for you and your friends & family to eat at our restaurants
• Team social events throughout the year
• Team assistance scheme – a dedicated helpline for support & advice on topics from mental health through to managing your finances

From discounted stays to training and development opportunities, we're all about helping our team achieve their personal and professional goals. Located above the dunes of a seven-mile beach on the Scottish island of Islay, you'll never be short on inspiration.
