Lead Housekeeper

Lead Housekeeper – RISE Vols (Knoxville, TN)

$21.00–$22.00/hour

It’s early morning before the office opens.

The clubhouse is quiet. The fitness center is reset. The hallways are clean, fresh, and ready for the day ahead.

By the time residents and prospects walk through the doors, everything feels right — even if they can’t quite explain why.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

We’re hiring a Lead Housekeeper at RISE Vols — someone who takes pride in creating that standard every single day.

What This Role Really Is

This isn’t just cleaning.

This role is about setting the tone for the entire community — through consistency, attention to detail, and leadership.

It sits at the intersection of:

• Quality control
• Team leadership
• Daily operations
• Resident experience
  
  
  

You’re not just maintaining spaces — you’re shaping how people feel when they walk into them.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading daily cleaning operations across common areas and amenity spaces
• Ensuring a high standard of cleanliness and presentation throughout the property
• Supporting and guiding housekeeping team members (if applicable)
• Performing routine cleaning duties with consistency and attention to detail
• Identifying areas that need attention before they become noticeable issues
• Maintaining cleaning supplies and equipment
• Supporting readiness of amenity spaces for residents and tours
  
  
  

What We’re Looking For

The right person for this role:

• Takes pride in clean, well-maintained spaces
• Notices details others overlook
• Is reliable, consistent, and self-motivated
• Leads by example and holds a high standard
• Works efficiently without sacrificing quality
• Brings a strong sense of ownership to their work
• Understands that presentation directly impacts resident experience
  
  
  

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a “quick clean and move on” position
• Not inconsistent or reactive work
• Not a role where details don’t matter
  
  
  

Anyone can clean a space.

We’re looking for someone who can maintain a standard — and take ownership of how the community shows up every day.

Why RISE Vols

This role directly impacts:

• First impressions for prospects touring the community
• Daily experience for residents
• The overall pride and presentation of the property
  
  
  

In a student housing environment, things move fast — and consistency matters.

This is an opportunity to be the person who makes sure the community always feels ready.
