Summary
As a Holidays Operation 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 is advertised as permanent and 5 hours a week but with regular overtime available. With all year-round work, the regular changeover days do not always fall on the same days and can include Saturdays. Sunday work is not expected. Flexibility will be required however.
Interviews will be held the week commencing 15th July 2024.
What it's like to work here
This role will involve cleaning and preparing to a high standard at the three newly refurbished holiday homes (Nightjar, Stonechat and Woodlark) at Dunwich Heath and Bridge Farm Cottage, located in Dunwich village. Please see the National Trust holidays website for information about the four holiday homes here: Holidays & short breaks UK | 2022 & 2023 | National Trust.
There is also a possibility of work at other cottages we manage in surrounding areas on a cover basis if you are interested. As our cottages are often remote you would need your own transport.
What you'll be doing
It's the details that make you a brilliant cleaner.
On changeover days you will prepare the holiday homes in readiness for guests to arrive, ensuring that you clean throughout to the highest standard including making up all beds. We also like you to keep an eye out for any repairs or odd jobs that need doing and report these in time for them to be fixed prior to guest arrival.
