Description du poste

We’re looking for a Holiday Cottage Cleaner to prepare our popular holiday cottages at Lyme Park. We have two cottages at Lyme: one located within Lyme Park (Stockport postcode) and the other just outside the park boundary (Macclesfield postcode). You'll receive training to work across both cottages and provide cover where needed, on a rotational rota basis. Internally within the National Trust, you will be known as a 'Holidays Operation Assistant'.

Salary: £12.75 per hour

Contract Duration: Permanent

Working Pattern: You'll work 6 hours per week. Your contractual hours are based on one guest changeover per week, although additional hours may be available during particularly busy periods with advance notice. Working patterns are determined by guest arrival and departure schedules, which are shared four weeks in advance to support planning. You won't be required to work evenings or Sundays, although a regular share of Saturday and Bank Holiday working will be expected.

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.

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.

Who we're looking for

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.
