Dooleys Tavern and Motel is hiring casual housekeepers in Springsure, Queensland, and wants dependable people who take real pride in clean, tidy rooms. This role suits workers who enjoy steady motel work in a friendly country town and like seeing a job finished to a high standard. You will prepare guest rooms, refresh linen, and keep shared spaces spotless for travellers passing through central Queensland.
The position runs on a casual basis, so shifts change with guest bookings and seasonal demand across the year. Most work falls in the morning after checkout, with some afternoon turnarounds when the motel fills up. You will move at a steady pace, manage your own room list once you learn the routine, and enjoy plenty of independence during each shift.
Casual housekeepers in regional Queensland usually earn around 28 to 34 dollars per hour. The employer did not publish a fixed rate, so treat this figure as the current market average for the area. Weekend and public holiday loadings often lift the hourly pay, and casual staff also receive a casual loading on top of the base wage.
Company Overview
Dooleys Tavern and Motel runs a busy pub and roadside motel that serves locals and visitors across central Queensland. The team is small, hands-on, and supportive, so new staff learn the routine quickly and never feel lost on the floor. You will work alongside friendly front-of-house and kitchen crew in a relaxed country setting where warm service keeps guests coming back season after season.
Responsibilities
- Clean and prepare guest motel rooms to a high, consistent standard before each new arrival checks in.
- Strip used linen, remake beds with fresh sheets, and restock towels, soap, and bathroom toiletries.
- Vacuum carpets, mop hard floors, wipe surfaces, and dust furniture in every room you service.
- Scrub and sanitise bathrooms, including showers, toilets, sinks, taps, and mirrors, until they shine.
- Empty bins, remove all rubbish, and report any damage or maintenance issues to the duty manager.
- Keep hallways, laundry areas, and storage cupboards clean, fully stocked, and well organised at all times.
- Wash, dry, and fold motel laundry, then refill your housekeeping trolley ready for the next shift.
- Check each finished room against a simple quality list before you hand the key back to reception.
- Follow safe cleaning practices when handling chemicals, hot water, and electrical equipment around the property.
Qualifications and Requirements
- Valid Australian work rights, since the employer cannot arrange visa sponsorship for this casual position.
- Some cleaning or housekeeping experience helps, but the friendly team will train the right starter from scratch.

- Basic spoken English so you can understand instructions and speak politely with guests and staff.
- A careful eye for detail and steady, reliable attendance for every booked shift you accept.
- Willingness to work weekends, early mornings, and public holidays when the motel is at its busiest.
- A tidy, honest, and trustworthy approach, because you will often work inside guest rooms alone.

- Paid on-the-job training so you learn the full motel routine from your very first day.
- A friendly, close-knit team in a quiet and welcoming regional Queensland town.
