Job description

The 17th century Port Gaverne Hotel is nestled in a beautiful, secluded cove near Port Isaac on North Cornwall's dramatic coast. Relax in our traditional old bar with slate floors, wooden beams and a wide range of proper ales served alongside seasonal, quality food inspired by the bounty on our doorstep.

The Port Gaverne has 15 ensuite rooms, each individually furnished. Please note, our rooms are situated on two floors of the building and because the building is very old, we do not have access to an elevator. All rooms are accessible via a narrow, steep staircase with low ceilings, keeping the natural beauty of the place intact.

The beautiful, peaceful North Cornwall Heritage Coast is on our doorstep, with the beach just moments away.

We're looking for a Housekeeper to join our close-knit team. You'll provide a warm welcome to guests, making them feel at home throughout their stay, while keeping our rooms looking spick and span. If you haven't done this kind of work before, we'll support you to learn.

What we offer …

• 30% off food and drink and 50% off overnight stays in our pubs
• Discount scheme across hundreds of retailers
• In house training programmes to support progression and learning
• Meal provided for shifts over 6 hours
• Family-friendly, flexible working
• Paid time off to volunteer

Our Team …
