Housekeeping Employee
I am Christine, Housekeeping Manager at the WestCord City Centre Hotel for the past 5 years. My job is very challenging and diverse. I work closely with my housekeeping team, as well as the 0perational team and the Technical Manager. WestCord City Centre is a 3 star hotel, located in the center of Amsterdam, a 5-minute walk from the Kalverstreet, Dam Square and the Central Station. I am searching for new colleagues for our Housekeeping department, full-time as well as part-time. Most of the work will be in the rooms. That means getting the room spotlessly clean. The new guest should feel they are entering a brand new hotel room with a fresh bed that has never been slept in or rented out before. If we, as a team, succeed in this, then we have done our job!
There will be moments that we will request you to do a nightshift. Together we will take care of the public areas, including the public toilets. Easy, you would say? Not at all! It will be hard work, but we always try to have a lot of fun in between and that makes the day pass quickly.
What makes you the perfect colleague?
- English is the official language in our team because communication is key!
- You are the hard worker that sets example as a part of an ambitious team
- Flexible deployment is not only expected from you, but also from me. We would prefer you to be available for City Center 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, but we understand this is not practical. It is nice if you can work a number of days during the week and at least 1 day over the weekend;
- Working independently is important, but you must also be able to perform as part of a team;
- You are willing to work at least 3 nights a month.
What has WestCord Hotels to offer?

- Training: Are you not yet fully comfortable with the position you are willing to fulfil? Or are you willing to acquire new skills and information? Our hospitality trainers are here to teach you all the important aspects of our profession.
- Salary: WestCord values everybody’s efforts.

Therefore, we use our own communication platform, with which you are always up to date about developments and news in your team and organization. You can also continue to work on your skills and knowledge by doing to available e-learning modules.
- Good arrangements for relatives and supplementary retirement pension.
- Daily lunch and dinner, great coffee and lots of fruit. A perfect moment to sit and chat with your colleagues.
- 30/30 member: Our goal is to make you ‘part of the family’. That is why we offer your great extras such as €30,- per night including breakfast in all of our hotels and 30% discount on the F&B, the wellness, and other WestCord products.

- Surprise Our OneTeam: WestCord seeks to surprise her guests, but in addition to that, we also want to surprise our colleagues! This doesn’t only make a day at work fun, it also makes it surprising and even more enjoyable.
WestCord Hotels is a purely Dutch owned and operated family business, with its origins on the Island of Vlieland. In the 1960s tourism started growing on the Wadden Islands so in 1968 baker Emo Westers bought his 18-year-old son Harry a hotel, “De Wadden”. The very first WestCord Hotel.
Today, there are 16 WestCord Hotels throughout the Netherlands. A number of hotels operate under their own name and are soft-branded ‘by WestCord’, each a unique story and a link to Dutch history. Like Hotel New York in Rotterdam, located in the former headquarters of the famous ‘Holland-America Line’.
We are only satisfied when our guests are satisfied, and everything we do is aimed to contribute to the guest satisfaction.
Involved, sincere, personal and cool. That is what WestCord stands for. Will you become our new colleague? Leave your information down below and we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
