Housekeepers Christchurch

Please note: This job is for accommodation only. You will not be paid out a salary. The work you do will only cover the accommodation in our 8 bed staff dorm. 

Hi there, Backpackers! 

We are looking for one friendly, enthusiastic housekeeper to join our team as soon as possible. We ask for a commitment of minimum 2 months. 

So come and experience Christchurch, South Island, NZ and help run an award-winning historic backpacker hostel! This city has so much to offer with beaches, mountain views, a fun night life, luscious gardens and nearby walks, concerts and retail therapy! The hostel is actually a former prison - it will be one of your most interesting experiences and accommodations in New Zealand!

• Experience and skills in housekeeping are desired but if you don't have the necessary experience but the right attitude feel free to also apply :)
• You must have a current Working Holiday Visa or the legal ability to work in New Zealand.

As a housekeeper, you will help with cleaning bedrooms, bathrooms, communal areas, and spring cleaning of Jailhouse Accommodation. 

Housekeeping is normally between the hours of 10am - 12pm, 6x a week and this work covers your accommodation. You'll get laundry money on Saturdays (after being with us for 3 days), and you will have a bed in our 8 bed mixed staff dorm and use of the hostel. You can use the Wi-Fi, the kitchen, etc too.

We can talk about reception work too if you're interested as we do have positions from time to time! 

Work will be great to add to your CV for future travels, fun with a supportive team, and you will get to meet some great people who are traveling New Zealand and looking to escape from jail!

If you are keen, let us know the following: 

• Do you have a working holiday visa and an IRD number 
• Do you have any experience 
• can start as soon as possible

Then we will consider your application!

Prison puns always help ;-)
