Caravan Park Warden Couple
We are currently seeking to recruit a seasonal, full time Warden couple to work from early/mid July to early September to cover the busy summer period. If you always fancied being a Warden but were unsure about making the leap, then why not have this taster session first through the summer to see if it suits you. There is then the option of working a full season next year (our Wardens normally start in March and work through until the end of October, or until September if a shorter season is preferred).
We are looking for people who are practical, active and friendly. Duties include: cleaning; showing customers to their pitch; light maintenance tasks; helping customers; strimming; etc. The work could also involve duties in the Leisure Park; these could range from supervising play equipment to catering, distributing leaflets to promote the Park, working in the entrance kiosk or shop.
This is a varied and interesting role which would suit an enthusiastic, reliable couple. In addition to the wage, a free electric pitch is included for your touring caravan/motorhome. There is the option of on-site accommodation. A detailed Job Description is included in the application pack.
