Why Westgate Housekeeping Jobs Stand Out

Posting date: 01/03/25

No matter what role you land in our housekeeping department at Westgate Resorts, you can take pride in knowing that you are at the heart of the company!

We believe in recognizing and rewarding hard work from day one with initiatives like our Zero Critical Defects Incentive Program, our training programs, and more. 

Each new day, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference. Your touch brings a personal and heartfelt level of care that transforms a simple stay into a cherished memory for years to come.

Below, we’ll break down the Housekeeping jobs available at Westgate Resorts, as well as the training, growth opportunities, and benefits of working here!

Housekeeping Roles Available at Westgate Resorts

It’s a pretty outdated idea that housekeeping jobs have no growth and career prospects, especially here. 

At Westgate Resorts, someone can start in Housekeeping and have a long-term career full of growth, training, and development. 

Through our training programs, you can take comfort in knowing that we recognize your potential. Housekeeping really is a crucial department in all of our resorts. It’s the backbone of any hospitality company. 

From day one, you’re paired with a team member and can work toward a strong Housekeeping training plan. And when you rise through the ranks, you can eventually train others as a Certified Field Trainer which, of course, comes with a pay increase! 

The typical career progression when you start out as a Housekeeper might be to work your way up to a supervisory position, followed by a managerial position, and then on to either an executive or director position! 

At Westgate, there’s lots of internal mobility, too so you might even want to move to a different department entirely! 

The roles that we’ll dive into today are: 

  • Housekeeper & Houseperson
  • Housekeeper & Houseperson Runner
  • Housekeeping Supervisor
  • Housekeeping Manager

Keep reading to learn more about what these careers have in store for you!
