Housekeeping & Common Area Cleaner - Interview NEXT WEEK!

Minor Hotels is expanding its Brisbane roster with opportunities at Avani Living Queen's Wharf Residence. This on-site role sits in the heart of Brisbane City, as part of a global hotel group with more than 70 properties in Australasia and a worldwide portfolio of 640 properties across over 66 countries. The team is looking to add dedicated housekeeping support with casual roles and an immediate start, aiming to deliver exceptional guest experiences across the property.

Whether you’ve worked in housekeeping before or you’re hoping to begin a career in hospitality, this is a chance to join a close-knit team that values care, attention to detail and a positive approach. The roles are described as casual opportunities with an immediate start, and the property emphasises a welcoming workplace culture where your contributions matter.

At Avani Living Queen's Wharf Residence, the emphasis is on keeping spaces clean, comfortable and guest-ready, with the duties split between two tracks: housekeeping for guest rooms and cleaners for the public and shared areas. You’ll be part of a team that supports guests through tidy rooms, fresh bathrooms, neatly made beds and well-stocked amenities, while also maintaining the cleanliness of lobbies, corridors, lifts and other public spaces. The work typically requires meeting set timeframes and maintaining a steady focus on quality, with training provided on the equipment and products used. Communication with guests, colleagues and contractors is part of everyday life, and you’ll take pride in delivering a spotless, welcoming environment.

Shift patterns run Monday to Sunday on flexible and rotating rosters, and shifts may begin early in the day. Availability for weekends and public holidays is required, and shift times can vary by property and operational needs.
