Make guests feel at home at Courtyard by Marriott Ghent!
We are looking for a Housekeeping Supervisor to join the housekeeping team of our brand-new Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Ghent. At Courtyard, guests don’t just stay – they feel at home. Are you energetic, motivated, and do you have excellent communication skills and a customer-focused mindset? Then this is your chance to truly make a difference.
Your daily contribution to a five-star experience
* You will lead, coach, and develop the housekeeping team committed to exceptional housekeeping and laundry standards. You ensure every room looks impeccable for our guests.
* You are responsible for the daily execution of cleaning tasks and assigning duties according to the schedule.
* You check cleaned rooms, bathrooms, and public spaces for presentation, cleanliness, and hygiene in line with our hotel guidelines.
* You assist with deep-cleaning projects and support your team during busy periods.
* You report malfunctions or defects to the technical team and verify completed repairs.
* You monitor laundry lists, linen stock, and guest amenities.
* You handle guest complaints, solve problems, provide information, and arrange services such as extra linen or laundry.
* You process special requests from guests, VIPs, returning visitors, and VIP Club members.
Who are we looking for?
* You have experience in housekeeping and team coordination, preferably within an international hotel chain.
* You’re open to flexible working hours – shifts between 7:00 and 23:00, including weekends – and can adapt to last-minute schedule changes or cover for colleagues. In emergencies, you’re willing to help out in other hotel departments.
* You speak fluent Dutch and English – knowledge of additional languages is a plus.
* You’re looking for full-time (38h) or part-time work.
* Most importantly, you know how to turn hospitality into a memorable experience.
What do we offer?
* A sustainable commitment via a permanent contract
* An attractive salary package, including:
o DKV hospitalization insurance
o Meal and eco vouchers
o Worldwide employee discounts within Marriott International
* Flexible work arrangements – we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has benefits too – pick up your kids from school, attend that Tuesday fitness class, or enjoy your free time while others are working
* A unique start from day one! Be part of an exciting hotel opening and have an impact from the beginning
* Opportunities for growth through Marriott’s training platform and on-the-job coaching
* An open and supportive company culture. We believe in teamwork, trust, and fun at work
