Do you believe that a perfectly made bed and a sparkling room are the keys to a great stay? Join our team at Cambridge Common House, an elegant 16-room guest house just steps from Harvard Square. As a Housekeeper, you are the heart of our operations, ensuring that our historic 1835 home remains a spotless and soulful retreat for every guest.

We are a boutique property that values a positive attitude, attention to detail, and a team-first spirit. If you take pride in your work and want to work in a beautiful, garden-filled setting, we’d love to have you!

  • Reliability:You are punctual and dependable, understanding that our small, intimate team relies on everyone to be there.

  • Experience:Previous housekeeping experience is a plus, but if you have a great work ethic and a desire to learn, we will train you to be a pro!

Who we are.

At Lark we are about people and service. We exist to bring people together, to create life-affirming experiences and to deliver exceptional hospitality to all we encounter.

On the ground we meet people eye to eye, without pretense or preconceived notions. We offer service and attention when wanted but privacy when it’s not. We present ourselves as we are, with personality, warmth, energy and integrity. To our guests we offer to support their agenda and do not overlay our own. We always remember that the experience we provide comes with high expectations and could be part of a pivotal part of our guests lives.

We seek people that have a natural hospitality soul and we believe that skills, procedures and the details can be taught. Good people create great experiences. Within our organization, we care for our team members as they care for our guests. We aim to develop and offer as many opportunities for growth and mentorship as possible. We celebrate each other and thrive because of it.

In our relationships with owners and investors we pledge to be genuine, collaborative, honest, and transparent in all of our interactions. We will work with intention and efficiency and to earn trust. If we make mistakes, we learn from them and memorialize our corrections so we’re always getting better. Above all else, we value healthy collaboration and long-term connections.
