Holiday Cottage Cleaner 12.75 per hour

We're looking for a Holiday Cottage Cleaner to prepare our popular holiday cottagesbased within Dunham Massey Village, Altrincham. We have two cottages in the village, and you will be trained up to cover at both cottages where needed on a rotational rota basis.

Salary: £12.75 per hour

Contract Duration: Permanent

Working Hours: 6 hours per week

Working Pattern: Your contractual hours are based on 1 changeover per week between guests, but additional hours can sometimes be generated during particularly busy periods with notice. Work pattern is determined by our arrivals and departure lists, and these are shared 4 weeks in advance to allow for planning. You will not be required to work evenings or Sundays, however a regular share of Saturday working will be expected.

For this role, you'll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

On changeover days, you'll make sure that everything's pristine and ready for the next guests to arrive. This will include making sure the cottage is thoroughly cleaned, well-presented and welcoming. We'd also like you to keep an eye out for anything that's not as it should be, and report any repairs or odd jobs that need doing. If you need to, you'll also replace any broken items from the store supplies.

Full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is provided for all teams, and extra measures are in place to protect staff.
