• Respond to escalated or higher-level guest emails, refund requests, special booking requests, group bookings, and review responses.

• Support internal guest issue follow-through to ensure documentation and resolution.
• Participate in updating and refining the working office manual and administrative systems.
• Assist in development of onboarding materials, training guides, guest service scripts, and communication standards.
• Coordinate website updates and third-party channel updates as directed and approved.
• Support cross-department communication between office, maintenance, and housekeeping teams to ensure clarity and consistent guest experience.
• Ensure consistency of guest communication tone, service standards, and overall brand experience across all guest-facing channels.

Front Desk & Store Operations Support

• Participate in front desk operations and assist with peak-time check-ins for sites and e-bikes.
• Handle manager-level guest interactions or requests at the front desk as needed.
• Support inventory oversight and reorder coordination.
• Recommend new inventory additions or removal of underperforming items.
• Sign off on large inventory orders with owner approval.
• Oversee daily cash count processes and day-end receipt collection procedures.
• Empty laundry and coin machines, count and document collections.
• Prepare and coordinate bank deposits in alignment with ownership procedures.
• Adhere to established spending limits and obtain ownership approval for expenditures beyond approved thresholds.

Housekeeping Coordination & Inspection Oversight

• Oversee and coordinate cleaning schedules in response to bookings, cancellations, and turnover needs.
• Track assignments and adjust scheduling as needed to ensure timely readiness.
• Communicate special cleaning needs or guest-specific requests to assigned cleaners.
• Conduct inspections of cleaned properties using established inspection forms.
• Assign and document remedial cleaning when necessary, ensuring follow-through.
• Update cleaning checklists and quality standards as improvements are identified.
• Support occasional cleaning training sessions or standards review meetings.
• Track 1099 cleaning hours and coordinate documentation and payment processing with ownership.
• Ensure documentation of incidents, guest injuries, or property damage and coordinate reporting with ownership and insurance providers as needed.

Winter Operations & Shared Responsibilities

• Managers share hands-on workload.
• Participate in guest-facing projects both in the office and on the property.

Information Applicable to All Roles

Employer

Elwha RV Park – An expanded family-run business located alongside Olympic National Park. At the Elwha RV Park we offer RV and tent camping, vacation rentals, and ebike rentals. We operate year-round taking reservations, managing the gift shop, and welcoming guests in all seasons. We enjoy sharing our outdoor garden, hydroponics greenhouse, and vast knowledge of the area with all our guests. At the Elwha RV Park, we take our guest experience as our greatest goal, striving to inspire our guests with the beauty and mystery of our natural surroundings, while sharing the warmth of genuine hospitality with them from the moment they call to make a reservation, to the personal response we provide to their after-stay survey. The Elwha RV Park is situated in a private wooded landscape, with views of the Olympic foothills, bordering National Forest, and a short walk from the wild and free Elwha River. We are a short drive or bike ride from sandy ocean beaches, 10 minutes from downtown Port Angeles, and in a central base camp location to explore the various entrances into Olympic National Park. At the Elwha RV Park, we value the peace and tranquility of traditional camping, honor our natural environment, and welcome people from all over the world to relax and explore in the comfort of our “drama-free zone”.
