Supervisor Housekeeping
From early morning till late at night, Volkshotel is a buzzing playground for single mums, artists, dapper dandies, and night owls. With a café (Werkplaats), a sweaty basement club (Doka), a rooftop restaurant (Canvas), workspaces, and 196 hotel rooms, this former newspaper building is a place where everyone and everything mixes. The vibe is free and easy-going; so you can just be exactly who you are.
Because the building is alive 24/7, it’s basically never boring. To keep everything running smoothly, we’re looking for a hands-on Housekeeping Supervisor. Someone who gets that good leadership means leading by example, keeping the standards high, and never being afraid to grab a mop yourself when things get wild.
Who are you? We need someone with solid hotel housekeeping experience and a good understanding of hotel operations. But more importantly, we want someone who:
Gets that we fix things together: You lead by example. If we’re short-staffed or it's just a crazy busy day, you don’t wait around, you roll up your sleeves and work right alongside the team.
Has a hawk-eye for detail: You inspect guest rooms and public areas to ensure high cleaning standards. You spot a crooked pillow from a mile away, but you handle it with a cool head.
Is street-smart with time and money: You can balance quality, efficiency, and team motivation. You make daily operational decisions that make sense for both the vibe on the floor and the housekeeping budget.
Is direct and approachable: You know how to train, motivate, and coach a team without sounding like a drill sergeant. Good communication in English is a must, Dutch is a very nice bonus.
Stays organized: You keep your cool while managing daily planning, assigning tasks, adjusting schedules when needed, and making sure we don't run out of cleaning supplies.
What your day looks like: You start by assigning rooms to the housekeeping staff and making sure everyone knows the game plan. Throughout the day, you’re on the floor monitoring cleaning productivity and quality.
Got a leaky faucet or a wonky door handle? You’re the one who communicates maintenance issues and technical problems. You manage the stock and report shortages before we run out of soap. But your main gig is supporting your team during daily operations. You create a safe, supportive environment where your practical skills and leadership actually make a real impact.
What you can expect in return: A lively, international working environment where there’s always something happening and plenty of opportunity to grow within the hospitality industry.
The solid stuff: A competitive salary based on your experience, a direct contract with Volkshotel, an extra vacation day, and performance-based raises.
The fun stuff: A free night’s stay at the hotel once a year (because you should experience what you work so hard for).
The perks: Soaking in our 8th-floor hot tubs after your shift, fat discounts on food, drinks, and events in the building, and sociable drinks with a truly supportive team. And of course, our legendary annual Volks-anniversary party.
If you are a motivated supervisor who enjoys both leading the pack and getting your hands dirty, we’d love to hear from you. Apply right here, right now.
