Park Services Assistant

Location: Glendevon

Hours: 24 hours per week

Renumeration: £14,277.12 p.a.

What we need in a nutshell

We need someone who will keep our Residential Park grounds, 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 a holiday park. We’re a Residential Park, meaning that Glendevon Country Park is our occupants' home.  Our Residents have relocated to Glendevon from far and wide.  Our beautiful park is set amongst the stunning mountains, covered in purple heathers and majestic trees.  The wonderful location and friendly Residents makes Glendevon Country Park a joyous place to work!

We need you to be the person who delivers delight to our Residents by ensuring that everything 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 Park Manager to ensure everything is in good working order. Your work will include:

• Landscaping, including paving and fencing
• Assisting with moving and siting lodges
• Painting and decorating
• Maintenance jobs; everything from replacing light bulbs to troubleshooting faulty locks
• Carrying out maintenance checks and working with other tradespeople when necessary
• Pretty much anything else that other people can’t do!

Residents 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.

Skills, experience, and qualities you’ll need

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. painting, lock repairs etc
• An understanding of Health & Safety at work

Add in the ability to think for yourself and be proactive, great people skills, unfailing enthusiasm and extremely high standards of craftsmanship - if you’ve got all that, you’re in the running.

It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.

Nice to have but not essential

It would be great if you tick some of these boxes too (but we won’t hold it against you if you don’t).

• Experience of working in a customer facing role
• Experience of working in a holiday park
