Holiday Cottage Cleaner

We are looking for a Holiday Cottage Cleaner to prepare our stunning holiday cottages on the Dudmaston Estate.

Hours: 234 hours a year (average of 4.5 hours a week). This role is based on annualised hours, where the number of hours you work each month may vary, however your salary will be paid in 12 equal instalments over the year.

The main changeover day being Monday and Friday, however, short breaks mean that changeover days can also fall on other days of the week, and you would have the opportunity to work other, additional hours if you are able to do so.

Rotas are issued in advance, and we try to accommodate other commitments where possible.

Salary: £11.50 per hour

Duration: Permanent

Interview date: Tuesday 17th December 2024

Internally you will be known as 'Holidays Operation Assistant'

For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

The main holiday cottage that you will be looking after is Sandybury Barn which is situated in the stunning location across the Dudmaston Estate. We may from time to time need you to help with the changeovers at other cottages on the estate during high seasons and staff absence. The larger properties such as Sandybury Barn have two members of staff to clean them.
