A Housekeeping Manager coordinates the daily activities of a housekeeping service at a holiday park or tourist resort. You might provide a range of housekeeping services and ensure guest needs are met. Housekeeping Managers might organise housekeeping rosters and ensure staff are properly trained in correct housekeeping procedures.
Housekeeping Managers should have strong leadership skills and a focus on customer service. It’s important you are organised and can manage several tasks at once. Housekeeping Managers should have excellent attention to detail and strong time management abilities.
In Australia, a full time Housekeeping Manager generally earns $1,150 per week ($59,800 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
This industry has seen a slight increase in employment numbers over the last five years. There are currently 156,700 people working in this field in Australia and many of them specialise as a Housekeeping Manager. Housekeeping Managers may find work across all regions of Australia.
