HOUSEKEEPING SUPERVISOR - Keeper of Clean:

Note:

If you are legally able to work in Canada and are seeking a PR (permanent residency), we can guarantee full-time Manager-level work for the right applicant.

We cannot assist in the VISA process for international applicants beyond providing a job offer for a hired person.

Are you good at keeping things clean? What about doing two (or ten) things at once? Have you ever wanted to live in a mansion on the water with a zany cast of loveable characters who look to you for guidance, direction, and the fulfillment of their emotional needs? If so, WELCOME HOME

We are the Squamish Adventure Inn and we want YOU to liven up the place.

This is a Supervisory position, but due to the size of our little business you'll definitely be working alongside your team every day to help make our hostel the best of the best.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

Supervise a Crew of 23 parttime adventurers/feral nomads on our Quest to Clean All the Things, which includes:
Cleaning all the things (if it is a thing, it needs to be cleaned)
Deciding when and how to clean the things (preferably "now" and "really well")
Teaching the Crew how to clean things all by themselves
Laundry. Lots and lots of laundry. Washing, drying, folding... laundry.
Buying stuff we need to clean all the things
Managing inventory and linens... also known as laundry
Other assorted things, including:
Working Reception
Handling emergencies
Being on call in the mornings before you work
Did we mention Laundry?

Housekeeping experience the more you have, the more we pay
Criminal Background Check
Valid Driver's licence
Basic computer skills

NICE TO HAVE:

Supervisory experience

COMPENSATION
We pay our entire team by the hour, not salary, and there's a very good reason for this.

Big businesses love Salaried jobs because it allows them to give the Management team tons of overtime and
not pay an extra dollar.

We compensate our team for every hour worked, every time they're called, and we don't force our team to sit at work when there's nothing to do because they have hours to punch.

We want you to go adventuring.

Want to know our pay rate? Talk to us - the initial training pay is very different from the pay you receive as you gain experience and take on responsibilities. If we like ya, we show it in cash $$$ and we pay much higher than the industry norm. We're always looking for a long term team

WORK SCHEDULE
Permanent Full-Time. Your schedule will generally call for 5 days per week including overtime.

In the summers we're super busy and in the fall we're slow but we always guarantee full time work for this position.
