Holiday Cottage Cleaner - Low Newton-by-the-Sea

On changeover days, you'll make sure that everything's pristine and ready for the next guests to arrive. This will include making sure the cottage is thoroughly cleaned, well-presented and welcoming. We'd also like you to keep an eye out for anything that's not as it should be, and report any repairs or odd jobs that need doing. If you need to, you'll also replace any broken items from the store supplies. Full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided for all teams, and extra measures are in place to protect staff. You can view the full role profile for this role in the document attached. You don't need to have all the knowledge, skills and experience listed in the role profile; this is just to provide a full picture of what's possible in this role.

Holidays in the north east continue to be very popular all year round and our cottages at Lindisfarne and Low Newton are five of our busiest, with high levels of occupancy and many returning guests. The cottages are set in stunning locations with amazing land and seascapes and history, and you'll reap the benefits of working in gorgeous surroundings. We are a small team and are immensely proud of our cottages and the standard we provide for our guests. You will be able to work independently and as part of a team; having an eye for detail and great communication skills are always an advantage., We'd love to hear from you if you're:

• focused on giving great service to everyone you meet
• a team player, but also happy to work on your own initiative
• well-organised and adaptable
• willing to learn new skills.
