Something New Is Taking Shape
Opening in November 2026, Yora Nordic Spa is a place to pause, reconnect and experience wellbeing through nature, hydrotherapy and authentic human connection. It is a space where our team will create thoughtful and welcoming experiences that help guests reconnect with themselves, with others and with the natural world around them.

We are now building our founding team - the people who will bring Yora Nordic Spa to life and shape our culture from the very beginning. Working at Yora means working in wellness and contributing to a workplace and guest experience that are simple, inclusive, natural and social.

The Opportunity
The Housekeeping Attendant will be part of Yora's founding Housekeeping team, helping prepare and care for the clean, calm and beautifully presented spaces that will welcome Yora Nordic Spa's first guests in November 2026. This role is anticipated to start between mid- and late October 2026.

This is a hands-on role for someone who notices what needs attention and takes pride in restoring it quickly. Through thoughtful cleaning, sanitizing, restocking and linen care, the Housekeeping Attendant helps every guest experience Yora as comfortable, cared for and ready throughout the day.

What You Will Do

• Clean, sanitize, restock and restore assigned guest-facing and back-of-house areas to Yora's standards.
• Maintain change rooms, washrooms, relaxation spaces, pool decks, circulation areas and other assigned spaces throughout the day.
• Complete scheduled walkthroughs and resolve cleanliness or presentation concerns before they affect guests.
• Turn over lockers efficiently while maintaining exceptional cleanliness and presentation.
• Keep towels, linens, guest amenities and supplies available when and where they are needed.
• Follow assigned cleaning routines, departmental checklists and deep-cleaning schedules.
• Maintain clean and organized housekeeping, linen and storage areas.
• Replenish guest amenities and supplies according to established levels.
• Handle linens, cleaning products, chemicals, tools and equipment safely and correctly.
• Follow all sanitation, health, safety and workplace procedures.
• Identify spills, hazards, damaged equipment and maintenance concerns and respond or report them immediately.
• Complete assigned opening, operating and closing responsibilities accurately and on time.
• Interact with guests warmly and professionally while completing work discreetly in occupied areas.
• Work collaboratively with Housekeeping, Maintenance, Front Desk and other departments to keep spaces guest-ready.

What You Bring

• Previous housekeeping, spa, hotel or guest-service experience is an asset but is not required.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to exceptional cleanliness.
• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team.
• The ability to remain organized while managing multiple cleaning and guest-area priorities.
• A warm and professional approach when interacting with guests.
• The ability to safely use cleaning chemicals, tools and equipment after receiving required training.
• A self-motivated working style and the ability to recognize what needs attention without always being directed.
• Reliability, good judgment and pride in creating calm, clean and restorative spaces.
• First Aid and CPR certification are considered assets.

Schedule
This is a full-time, on-site position that requires flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays based on business and operational needs. Additional flexibility will be required during the pre-opening and opening periods.
