Maintenance Assistant

We have an exciting opportunity available for an Maintenance Assistant to join our Forest of Dean team working full time, 40 hours per week, 5 days out of 7. In return we will offer you an hourly pay rate of £11.44 per hour (increasing to £12 per hour if the location meets the monthly targets), a place to develop your skills and the chance to work in some of the UK's most stunning forest environments.
Open all year round, our Maintenance Assistant ensures our cabins are in good working order with well-maintained décor. You will respond to issues promptly and the ability to solve these issues whilst maintaining excellent communication with the guest is essential. This can include everything from solving issues with a dishwasher not cleaning correctly, a hot tub not holding temperature, a toilet not flushing, a door not locking and lots of painting.
Our Maintenance Assistant will ensure every cabin is regularly audited to keep standards high. Working in the Operations Team you will also assist across the location as and when required, for example delivering items ordered from the Retreat to cabins or emptying bins on a changeover day.
As our Maintenance Assistant we offer a range of benefits that includes:
+ Monthly 5% bonus (paid quarterly) if location achieves customer service targets

+ Save on cabin breaks - pre-book a break with up to 20% off or travel last minute for just £75 a cabin. You also get a friends and family discount giving them 15% off all breaks.
Our ideal Maintenance Assistant is a dynamic individual who applies a can-do attitude to solve any issues that may arise on location. A love for the outdoors is essential as these tasks need completing rain or shine every day of the year. You will also complete general maintenance tasks, so a basic knowledge of using tools, fixing machinery, and decorating is desirable. A full clean UK driving license is essential for this role.
+ 16 - 17 year olds paid at £6.40 p/hr (increasing to £6.72 p/hr if targets met)
+ 17 - 18 year olds paid at £8.60 p/hr (increasing to £9.03 p/hr if targets met)
