For our brand-new Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Ghent, we're looking for a motivated Public Area Attendant. You will ensure that all public spaces – from the hotel lobby to the restrooms – are always clean, tidy and inviting. Thanks to your work, every guest feels welcome from the very first moment.

• Clean and maintain public areas: lobby, corridors, elevators, reception area, staff rooms, meeting rooms and restrooms.
• Regularly inspect these areas for cleanliness and take immediate action where needed.
• Refill supplies such as toilet paper, soap and towel dispensers.
• Report technical issues or irregularities to your supervisor.
• Assist with cleaning tasks during events or peak times.
• Work according to Marriott's quality standards and actively contribute to the hotel's polished appearance.

• Preferably you already have experience in the cleaning sector, but motivation and an eye for detail are just as important.
• You are flexibly available – willing to work shifts between 7 am and 11 pm, including weekends and public holidays.
• You can work independently but also thrive in a team.
• You communicate fluently in Dutch or English.
• You have an eye for detail and aim for a high standard of cleanliness and presentation.
• You are looking for full-time (38h) or part-time work.

• A sustainable commitment through a permanent contract.

• An attractive salary package, including:

• DKV hospitalization insurance

• Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
• Worldwide employee discounts within Marriott International
• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule also has its advantages – pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday sports class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.
• A unique chance to be part of a hotel opening and make an impact from day one.
• Room for growth, via the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.
• An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust and fun at work.

In a green oasis at an easily accessible location in Ghent, you'll find our unique hospitality hub: a collaboration between Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express and Residence Inn by Marriott.

Thanks to the collaboration between the hotels, the event center and the FB outlets, we create a seamless experience for both business travelers and tourists. Your stay, your way — that's what we stand for.

Our location is easily accessible, wherever you're coming from. The hotel is located at Akkerhage 2B, 9000 Ghent, right off exit 9 (U.Z. Gent) of the E17. Coming by car? Enjoy worry-free parking in our spacious free parking area.
