Summary Holiday Cottage Cleaner required for Holy Island and Low Newton holiday cottages The post is based at Low Newton by the Sea or Lindisfarne Castle with the cottages located in the villages. Holy Island is a 17 mile/30 minute drive from Wooler, 14 miles/25 minutes from Berwick upon Tweed and 12 miles/20 minutes drive from Belford. Low Newton by the Sea is a 10 mile/20 minute drive from Alnwick and 7 mile/15 minute drive from Seahouses. The post can be based at either location to suit the successful individual and mileage will be paid to cover changeovers at the second location. Holidays in the north east continue to be very popular all year round and our cottages at Lindisfarne and Low Newton are five of our busiest, with high levels of occupancy and many returning guests. The cottages are set in stunning locations with amazing land and seascapes and history, and you'll reap the benefits of working in gorgeous surroundings. We are a small team and are immensely proud of our cottages and the standard we provide for our guests. You will be able to work independently and as part of a team; having an eye for detail and great communication skills are always an advantage. The role is 6 hours per week. The main changeover days are Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, however, short breaks mean that changeover days can also fall on other days of the week, and you would have the opportunity to work additional hours at the cottages or in some of our other wonderful locations across the north east. We don't work Sundays. Rotas are issued in advance. You'll need to be available between 10am and 4pm (there will be flexibility with the finish time if the applicant has commitments) and free parking is available if you drive. We work around and within the tide times for Holy Island. Immediate start available and full induction and training is given. You'll be known as Holiday Operations Assistant internally. For this role, you'll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form.
