Housekeeper Salary: £25,620 - £25,989 per annum

Contract Type: Permanent

Hours/Working Pattern: Part Time

  • Salary: £25,620 - £25,989 pro rata per annum

Grade: CD

Contract: Permanent  

Hours: Annualised hours based on 22.5 hours per week.

Location: Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Harrogate Convention Centre

 

Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC) is one of the UK's leading event venues, offering 13,700m² of flexible event space, a 2,000-seat auditorium, and the iconic Grade II listed Royal Hall. We host a diverse range of conferences, exhibitions, productions, and live events-each with unique requirements.

Our Venue Presentation Team plays a vital role in delivering exceptional experiences for our clients and visitors.

We are looking for a proactive and reliable Housekeeper to help maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety across our venue.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll be responsible for ensuring both public and back-of-house areas remain clean, safe, and presentation-ready at all times, supporting a 24/7 operation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out regular cleaning inspections across all areas of the venue
  • Respond quickly and independently to cleaning needs as they arise
  • Complete planned cleaning tasks in line with rotas and schedules
  • Manage unplanned cleaning tasks (e.g. spillages, accidents, adverse weather impact)
  • Maintain and replenish consumables in kitchens, toilets, and public areas
  • Monitor stock levels and report replenishment needs
  • Safely operate a range of cleaning equipment, from basic tools to specialist machinery
  • Carry out safety checks on equipment and ensure COSHH compliance
  • Support event changeovers, including waste removal and keeping exits clear
  • Assist in supervising and supporting casual and contract cleaning staff
  • Provide on-site guidance and basic training for temporary team members

What You Will Bring

You will bring a friendly, approachable, and customer-focused attitude, with a proactive mindset and strong 'can-do' approach. You'll be confident working both independently and as part of a team, and able to stay calm and effective in a fast-paced environment. You will be reliable, with excellent timekeeping, and physically capable of carrying out manual tasks. Strong communication skills (written and verbal English) are essential, along with a good understanding of health and safety practices, including COSHH.

What can we offer you? 

 You could find working for North Yorkshire Council more rewarding than you first thought.
