The manor has four restaurants, an extraordinary 3,000 sq metre Roman-inspired spa- Eynsham Baths, 108 bedrooms and a gym with class studios and padel courts. Plus, there’s a kids’ club for the little ones and a workspace. As the countryside companion to Maison Estelle, the manor is also a ‘hosted home’, bringing people together that have plenty to say and nothing to prove.

• Experience of providing maintenance support in a hospitality or luxury facilities environment.
• Practical experience in DIY, property maintenance, or related fields, with the ability to carry out general repair and upkeep tasks confidently.

• Ability to perform under pressure and deliver results to deadlines.
• An enthusiastic team player with a positive mindset and hugely charismatic.
• Excellent interpersonal, time management and organisational skills with keen attention to detail.
• Must be able to work on a four on four off shift pattern including both days and nights.

The on target earning potential for this role is £42,140 per annum - compromising a base salary of £39,140 plus an estimated £3,000 in service charge and gratuities.
