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
Transport links
