• A practical, hands‑on skillset across electrics, plumbing, carpentry, and general repairs
• Organised, proactive, and willing to roll up your sleeves
• Ability to spot problems early and resolve them quickly
• Experience managing compliance checks and health & safety standards
• Brighton at heart: comfortable with sea breezes, adaptable to festive atmosphere, and creative in finding fixes

Benefits

• Work in a stylish, intimate hotel that feels like a home
• Be part of a small, close‑knit team where your ideas matter
• Competitive pay and engaging guest stories
• An extra holiday day for your birthday
• All breaks are paid
• Team room with pantry and a free meal on shift; stay/dine with family and friends at our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount
