What we are looking for

We need someone who will keep our accommodation, and the holiday park, in tip-top condition and looking spectacular, repairing, maintaining, renewing, and improving everything from the entrance signage to the back fence.

Some of the background

We’re not your average holiday company. Our guests come to our UK resorts to experience a world away from their day-to-day. When they are with us, they play crazy games, enjoy show-stopping entertainment and live in the moment. Our job is to surprise and delight them at every turn.

We need a maintenance assistant who can deliver delight to our guests by ensuring that everything in their accommodation, and across the park, looks great and works properly.

What you’ll be doing

As part of our team of holiday heroes, you will help the Maintenance Manager to ensure everything is in good working order. Your work will include:

• Carpentry, e.g. repair of doors, windows, kitchen units, walls and floors, signage, roofs & gutters and just about anything else wooden that you can think of.
• Landscaping, including paving and fencing
• Moving and siting Caravans, including external Plumbing
• Painting, decorating, and tiling
• Maintenance jobs; everything from replacing light bulbs to troubleshooting faulty locks and cutting keys
• Carrying out maintenance checks and repairs on changeover days, working with other tradespeople when necessary
• Pretty much anything else that other people can’t do!

Guests and staff will look to you to fix what’s broken and restore order, so you will need to be confident, friendly and obliging in addition to your practical skills.

One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you’ll need to work your magic on bank holidays, evenings and weekends too.

We will train you, but you’ll need to have the following skills and experience to apply for this role:

• Ability to carry out domestic repairs and maintenance, e.g. tiling, painting, lock repairs etc
• An understanding of Health & Safety at work
• Must have full UK Driving Licence
