Housekeeping Assistant

Burley Manor 

Are you someone who takes pride in creating beautiful, welcoming spaces? Do you notice the little details that make a guest feel instantly at home?

We’re looking for a Housekeeping Assistant to join the team at Burley Manor, our beautiful New Forest hotel set in the heart of the stunning village of Burley.

As part of our housekeeping team, you’ll play an important role in creating the exceptional guest experience that Burley Manor is known for. From preparing bedrooms and refreshing guest areas to ensuring every room is clean, comfortable and beautifully presented, you’ll help create the warm and welcoming atmosphere our guests love.

This is a hands-on role where no two days are quite the same, and where your care, attention to detail and positive attitude really make a difference.

About Burley Manor

Set within the New Forest, Burley Manor is a unique hotel with its own character, charm and story. We’re proud to offer our guests a relaxed and memorable experience inspired by our beautiful surroundings.

We’re part of New Forest Hotels, whose purpose is to enrich the lives of those within our community by providing the best New Forest hospitality.

Our vision is brought to life through creating warm, sincere environments where everyone can connect, be creative and thrive. Each of our venues is beautifully individual, with its own personality and story — making us more than ordinary and allowing us to create truly memorable experiences for our guests.

As part of our team, you’ll also have opportunities to work across our venues, helping you develop both personally and professionally.

• Replenishing guest amenities and ensuring rooms have everything guests need
• Reporting any maintenance issues or damaged items promptly
• Following our housekeeping procedures, health and safety guidelines and cleaning standards
• Working closely with colleagues to ensure rooms are ready for our guests
• Helping to create a clean, comfortable and welcoming environment throughout Burley Manor

What we're looking for

You’ll be someone who:

• Takes pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness
• Has a keen eye for detail
• Is reliable, organised and hardworking
• Works well as part of a team
• Has a positive and friendly approach
• Is willing to learn and develop
• Understands the importance of health and safety
• Is comfortable working in a busy hotel environment
• Can work flexibly, including weekends, bank holidays and holiday periods

Due to the location of Burley Manor and limited public transport links, your own transport is essential.

Our values

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re looking for colleagues who share our values:

Be BRAVE – take ownership and make things happen
Collaborate as a TEAM – support one another and succeed together
Develop, NURTURE and care – look after our guests, our colleagues and our surroundings
Be OPEN – communicate honestly and respectfully
