About the Rocky Mountain Inn & Hostel:

We pride ourselves in giving customers an immaculate and friendly place to stay which is also an incredible lodging value.  The Rocky Mountain Inn offers two distinctly different styles of accommodations that compliment each other.  We have gorgeous private rooms on one floor, and affordable dormitory rooms on another.  Our guests tend to be friendly, independent, and very appreciative of our facility -- often developing lasting friendships with the staff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Details about Available Positions:

bullet

Friendly -- you'll be interacting with guests both on the phone and in person.  The ability to communicate and make guests feel welcome is important to us.

bullet

bullet

Neatness -- We keep our facility immaculately clean and inviting; you'll be responsible to help maintain our high standard of cleanliness.

bullet

Skills -- You'll need to be comfortable with basic computer usage for our reservation system, email, etc.  It is not necessary to have experience with other reservation systems, but you must be comfortable with computers and financial transactions.

Night Manager

The night manager position is mostly a matter of being available for after-hours assistance should the need arise.   This job is best suited for someone who has a day-job and does not often feel the need to "go-out" at night.   You'll have your own room onsite at the Rocky Mountain Inn and will find that most nights will not require any action on your part.

 

Night Manager Requirements:

 

bulletLate check-ins and walk-ins
bulletEnforcing quite-time (10:00pm - 7:30 am)
bulletOff hours problem resolution.
bulletOff hours telephone coverage.
bulletMorning and evening snow shoveling as needed.
bulletOff hours presence for at least 6-7 days a week -- off nights can be occasionally arranged.
bulletOff-hours point person for other issues.

 Night Manager Benefits:

bullet

Free lodging,

bulletFree internet access,
bulletFree laundry
bulletFree long distance phone calls if they do not become excessive
bulletFree utilities, TV, local phone, movies, etc.

  

As resident staff, you’ll also be responsible for taking care of ‘resident tasks’.  These tasks are essentially the same tasks that one would have to do if they were living anywhere as a caretaker.  Examples include:

bulletSnow removal in the mornings and as needed in the evenings.
bulletSpill cleanup – seeing that spills or other problems get fixed.
bulletLawn mowing (seasonal, as needed)
bulletLawn watering (seasonal, as needed)
bulletTrash removal outside of normal cleaning (i.e., if you notice a trash can full, take care of it)
bulletDish cleanup (see that dirty dishes aren’t accumulating)
bulletDishwasher loading/unloading outside of normal cleaning (i.e., if you notice a full dishwasher start it, if the dishes are clean in the dishwasher, unload it.)

 Requirements:

bullet

We need a mature, responsible person for this position.

bullet

We need only one person -- we do not have accommodations for a couple.

bullet

Even though problems are rare, we need someone with good judgment and people-skills.

bullet

Since you'll be living onsite, you may not have a house pet, and our facility is 100% non-smoking.

bullet

It is anticipated that the amount of work actually required will vary from 2 hours a week to 12 hours a week. The average should be less than 5 hours a week of actual work.  In other words, this isn't really a job, it's just a matter of being available.

Please, please be honest with yourself before applying -- if you're not sure you would be good in this environment or if you do not have good people-skills, then this probably won't work.

Next Step:
If you are interested in free lodging in a unique and interesting environment, and have the lifestyle and maturity that would enable you handle the occasional after-hours obligation should the need arise, then drop off a vitae which includes your current employer, (as well as your previous employers if less then 2 years), as well as your previous 2-year's rental or housing references.  You may drop this information off in person at the Rocky Mountain Inn & Hostel (located at the Stoplight on Hwy 40 in Fraser).
