Summary
As a Holiday Cottage Cleaner, your role will be important in ensuring our guests are provided with the perfect stay from the moment they arrive. You'll be joining a small but excellent team to deliver this.
This role is an hourly paid, fixed term role. Wherever possible we aim to offer a consistent working pattern, but we're looking for flexibility as it may be necessary for us to alter this pattern from time to time to suit the needs of the business. We'd give you as much notice of this as possible. With all year-round work, the regular changeover days do not always fall on the same days, but they are predominately Mondays and Fridays.
Salary: £11.50 per hour
Duration: Fixed term contract until 28-Feb-2025
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.
What it's like to work here
You'll be cleaning and preparing to a high standard at Thorington Hall and Thorington Lodge along with the rest of the team.
There is also a possibility of work at other cottages we manage in surrounding areas on a cover basis if you are interested. Because Thorington Hall is in a rural area, please think about how you'd be able to get here for work, before you apply for this job.
