Holiday Cottage Cleaner

As a Holiday Operations Assistant, this role could not be more important in ensuring our guests are provided with the perfect stay from the moment they arrive. You will be joining a small but excellent team to deliver this.

The role we are recruiting for is a 0 hours contract with a fixed term until 28/02/25 but with the potential to make permanent. With all year-round work, the regular changeover days do not always fall on the same days, but they are predominately Mondays and Fridays. Flexibility will be required however. 

Salary: £11.50 per hour

Duration: Fixed Term

Interview date: Friday 1st November 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.

This role will involve cleaning and preparing to a high standard at Thorington Hall and Thorington Lodge along with the rest of the team.
