What we need in a nutshell

We’re looking for an enthusiastic team member who has a great attitude, is flexible in their approach to work, and takes pride in whatever they do to keep the park in tip-top condition and looking spectacular. Some of our fabulous holiday homes come complete with luxury hot tubs. We want you to keep those hot tubs in tip top condition too.

If you are happy to work outside and like a challenge we would love to hear from you.

Who are we?

We’re a dynamic and growing company, shaking up the Great British holiday at our award-winning UK resorts. Complete with 150-acres, Appletree Holiday Park is nestled in a naturally beautiful setting surrounded by wildlife and outstanding grounds, located in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside.

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 and live in the moment. Our job is to surprise and delight them at every turn.

Are you the person who can deliver delight to our guests by ensuring that everything works properly, and looks at its best across the park at all times?

What you’ll be doing

As part of our team of holiday heroes, you will be key in supporting the Maintenance team, to ensure everything is in good working order and looking at it’s best.

Your work will include:

• Maintaining holiday homes, caravans and on-site facilities, this will include: repairing doors and windows, kitchens, bathrooms and anything else that needs some TLC
• Maintaining the hot tubs to ensure they are working properly; drain and fill them on changeover days and test them every day, adjusting the chemicals if you need to
• We also cut the grass, do the strimming, trim the hedges, water the plants, repair the fencing and more…

Our guests and staff rely on us, so you will need to be friendly, able to think on your feet and sometimes be a little creative.

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

Skills, experience, and qualities you’ll need

We’ll provide training, but you must:

• Have a friendly and helpful attitude when you meet guests and be good at communicating within your team.
• Have a talent for practical jobs and for troubleshooting when problems arise.
• Be open to learning – experience isn’t as important as eagerness to learn
• Be willing to turn your hand to anything – guests come first, so you need to be alert to their needs and ready to help.

We have a can-do, people-centred ethos at Away Resorts, and we look for certain qualities in our team members. Have a read about it and see if you fit the bill.

Nice to have but not essential

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