Description:
We are Veriu Group (pronounced 'Very You')!
Our brands come from humble beginnings and a passion for connecting travellers to the local authenticity of a location. We aim to bring people together in new ways, to create lifelong travel memories that can’t be found in a guidebook, and to help people discover the true experience of a place.
Through our brands Punthill Apartment Hotels and Veriu Hotels & Suites, we operate 25 hotels across Australia and have over 35 years of brand history. Our ambitious plan to operate 80 hotels by 2030 becomes closer this year with numerous new hotel openings across the country, and this means we’re well on our way to achieving our mission of becoming the largest Australian-owned apartment hotel operator.
Our people are incredible because they're empowered to be themselves. We're not about hierarchy or rigid structure. Instead, we create an environment where people can make decisions, feel supported and access unlimited opportunities for growth. Our values of Relationship-Focused, Integrity, Personal Growth & Ownership Mindset guide our actions and decisions, and are what our diverse culture is all about.
Now is the perfect time for like-minded people to join our expansion journey. If you’re looking for a meaningful role that can make a serious impact, within a culture that allows you to be truly you – you’ve found us and we can’t wait to hear from you!
Welcome to Punthill Sunshine
We’re a brand new hotel, having opened in September 2024! As a result, we’re looking for a Housekeeping Manager to join the team and wider Veriu Group family.
Located adjacent to Sunshine Station, currently undergoing a major redevelopment as part of the Sunshine Precinct Masterplan. Upon completion, the Masterplan landmark project will transform the Station into a transport 'superhub' linking Melbourne Airport with both the CBD and regional Victoria.
Featuring 90-apartments, Punthill Sunshine is represented an attractive accommodation option for both business and leisure travellers, and it offers a mix of fully self-contained modern studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments together with a large conference space that can be turned into 2 spaces. The hotel's strategic location in Melbourne’s thriving western region makes it an ideal destination and what makes Punthill Sunshine an exciting addition to our growing network of 25 existing hotels!
