Associate Innkeeper

Associate Innkeeper

Position Summary

Wedmore Place at The Williamsburg Winery is seeking reliable, versatile, and hospitality-focused team members to join our Inn-keeping team. This is a hands-on hospitality position where team members are expected to support all aspects of the guest experience and daily operation of the Inn.

Associate Innkeepers serve as hosts, guest-service professionals, concierges, housekeepers, breakfast attendants, laundry attendants, and ambassadors for Wedmore Place and The Williamsburg Winery. Rather than separating these responsibilities into individual positions, our Inn keeping team works together to take care of whatever our guests and the Inn need throughout each shift.

This position requires individuals who are comfortable moving between responsibilities and believe that exceptional hospitality means not walking past a problem and never saying, “That’s not my job.”
