Summary
Holiday Cottage Cleaner required for Holy Island holiday cottages
We are looking for new people and current National Trust staff and volunteers who would like regular hours of work preparing our holiday cottages for our guests. Holidays in Northumberland continue to be very popular all year round and our 2 cottages on Holy Island are some of our most popular. The cottages are set in a stunning location with amazing land and seascapes and history, and you'll reap the benefits of working in gorgeous surroundings. With Berwick 14 miles away and Belford just 12 miles away, this isn't a long boring commute to work for anyone living in the nearby towns and villages.
The Hours: 5 hours per week. The main changeover days are Monday, Friday or Saturday, however, short breaks mean that changeover days can also fall on other days of the week, and you would have the opportunity to work additional hours at the Holy Island cottages or in some of our other wonderful locations across the north east. We don't work Sundays. Rotas are issued in advance. You'll need to be available between 10am and 3.00pm (there may be flexibility with the finish time if the applicant has prior commitments) and you will need your own transport as public transport is limited. Free parking is available.
Duration: Permanent.
Pay: £11.50 per hour
Interview Dates: 18th and 20th July
