Summary
We are looking for Holidays Operation Assistants to clean and prepare our stunning holiday cottages in South East Cornwall near Polruan, specifically at Triggabrowne, Pont Pill and Lansallos. For our visitors outdoor life at Pont Pill focusses on the quay which is perfect for wildlife. For those staying at Triggabrowne it's the gorgeous Cornish countryside that surrounds the cottages that makes their stay special along with the network of footpaths and of course Lantic Bay. Our Lansallos cottages have commanding views over the rolling hills down to the sea.
Your allocated cottage will be Fortescue Holiday Cottage. This upside-down cottage was once a 19th-century stone and slate barn in the traditional Cornish settlement of Triggabrowne. With wide farmland views, it's just a 15-minute walk from the rugged Cornish coastline and a scramble down to tiny beaches and coves.
In addition to this you will also provide relief cover for our other caretakers working across all 12 holiday cottages in the area.
Duration: Permanent, annualised hours.
Payment: Salary.
Hours: 10 hours per week
Salary: £11.50 per hour.
Internally you will be known as 'Holidays Operation Assistant'.
As the cottages are remote you will require your own transport whether by car, bike or bicycle as public transport is limited. You will cover your commute costs to work.

What it's like to work here
We will give you plenty of support and training with some E-learning modules. You'll be very much part of a wider team as there are 12 holiday cottages, a campsite and Ranger Team in the local area.
