Job Description

Due to the remote location of some of our places, please consider how you might travel to work before applying. Free parking is available at all our cottages.

Hours:

5 hours per week. Changeover days can fall Monday to Saturday, so flexibility is essential due to popular short breaks and late bookings.

Internally, you'll be known as 'Holidays Operation Assistant'.


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.



What it's like to work here:You'll help to look after one of our iconic holiday cottages centrally positioned in the picturesque village of Port Isaac, made famous by Doc Martin television series. Rising out of the higgledy-piggledy lanes of Port Isaac, Birdcage is a Grade II-listed, former cobbler's shop. Pentagonal shaped and three storeys high, it peeks over its neighbours to provide views of the harbour. Its interiors are just as intriguing too, with its snug rooms, exposed beams and a narrow staircase that slims down to just over a foot wide in places.

If you need to, you'll also replace any broken items from the store supplies.
