Summary

Porter (Evenings) Hours: Zero hours, evenings Pay: £12.71 per hour Contract type: Zero hours

About the role

This is a practical, active evening role supporting our housekeeping, maintenance, and grounds teams across the property. It's not a front-of-house position — you'll be working behind the scenes to keep the hotel running smoothly, helping where the work is and making sure the building and grounds are clean, safe, and well-maintained at the end of each day.

If you're someone who likes to stay busy, doesn't mind getting their hands dirty, and takes satisfaction in leaving a place looking better than you found it, this could be a great fit.

What you'll be doing

Housekeeping Support

Assisting the housekeeping team with linen runs, moving trolleys, and clearing rooms at the end of the day

Stripping beds, collecting dirty linen, and supporting room turnarounds where required

Cleaning and servicing guest rooms to hotel standard where required, supporting the housekeeping team during busy periods or staff shortages

Collecting rubbish from guest floors and public areas and ensuring correct disposal

Keeping service corridors, linen stores, and back-of-house areas tidy and organised

Maintenance & Facilities Support

Carrying out basic reactive maintenance tasks and reporting faults to the duty manager

Supporting planned maintenance activities including minor repairs, painting, and general upkeep

Moving furniture and equipment around the property safely and as directed

Assisting with deliveries, stock movements, and equipment storage

Grounds & External Areas

Maintaining the appearance of external areas including car parks, entrances, and garden spaces

Litter picking, sweeping, and keeping external areas presentable throughout the evening

Reporting any external defects, damage, or safety hazards

General Support

Providing ad hoc support to other departments as directed by the duty manager

Assisting with end-of-day close-down tasks across the property

What we're looking for

A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to take on varied physical tasks

Previous experience in a maintenance, groundskeeping, cleaning, or general operative role is an advantage

Physically fit and comfortable with regular manual handling

Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work with minimal supervision during evening hours

A good eye for detail — takes pride in leaving things in good order

Comfortable working evenings including weekends

What we offer

Flexible zero-hours contract

£12.71 per hour

A varied, active role with no two evenings the same

Friendly team and supportive management

Benefits:

Employee discount

On-site parking
