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 someone who will keep our grounds of the resort, in tip-top condition and looking spectacular..

What you’ll be doing

You will be reporting to the Park Services Manager working to required timescales, with a professional and friendly attitude. You will be out and about on the Park so will encounter our guests at all times. 

• Ensuring all work carried out is finished to the highest of standards.
• Operating machinery from ride on mowers to a pair of sheers. You will need to be safe in what you do and aware of your surroundings at all times.
• You could be cutting grass, trimming bushes, planting, paving & tending to flower beds etc…. the list is endless!

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

Skills, experience, and qualities you’ll need

We’ll provide training, but you must:

• Previous experience in landscaping and or a love of gardening 
• Ability to work on a shift pattern including weekends
• Full UK Driving License 

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 holiday park

This is a flexible role that we can help you fit into your life and it can also lead to other roles and career progression if you want it to. We look after you with a great range of benefits, including: 

• Competitive Pension  
• Discounts on Away Resorts Holidays 
• On Park Discounts
