Dear Mrs Denholm
Application for Assistant Head Housekeeper
I am applying for the Assistant Head Housekeeper post at Ashdale Park Hotel. I have five years in housekeeping at the Linden Court Hotel in York, a 120-room city hotel, first as a room attendant and for the last two years as floor housekeeper.
Each morning I allocate the rooms to six room attendants, and I inspect about 40 rooms a shift against our checklist before they go back to reception. I order the floor’s linen and guest supplies every week, and I log every fault so that no room is sold until it is fixed.
I train our new room attendants and would like to do more of it in a bigger team. With its spa and weddings, your hotel would give me the busier and more varied house I am looking for.
My CV is attached. I can work early shifts, weekends and bank holidays. Thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely
Joanne Pritchard
