Painter - The Hoxton, Amsterdam

We're on the lookout for a Painter to join our team at The Hoxton, Amsterdam. We're open to both full-time and part-time arrangements, so there's some flexibility in how you join us. Working alongside our Maintenance Manager, you'll bring a little colour to the everyday, keeping our spaces looking fresh, polished and ready to welcome our guests.

Once the Mayor’s home, now our home, on Amsterdam’s Herengracht canal. The Hoxton, Amsterdam houses 111 rooms, The Apartment, our meetings & events concept, and our all-day restaurant & bar, Lotti’s.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
