Truro, Cornwall, United Kingdom Surf Bay Holidays Full time
Thank you for expressing an interest in our job vacancy


Located on the A3075 on the edge of Goonhavern, near Perranporth, Silverbow Country Park is a luxury, owners only holiday park.

Owned by the renowned family company, Surf Bay Holidays, Silverbow Country Park is in the early stages of development changing it from an unused camping and touring site that had been closed for 4 years into a Holiday Park for privately owned static caravans and lodges.


Going forward, we intend to retain the beauty of the 24-acre park by avoiding the removal of as many trees and greenery as possible and will use the shape and landscape of the park to create the perfect, peaceful home away from home for our owners of holiday homes on the park.

Our Park is family and pet friendly and it is a quiet peaceful place. Onsite, we will have a laundry facility, a scenic pond area for nature lovers
- perfect for picnics and wondering around as well as a large dog walking field with a beautiful view and a sales office/ reception.


At Silverbow Country Park we are a small team consisting of the 2 Park Managers who live on site, a part time maintenance assistant and a part time receptionist.

Our aim is to continue to create a hard-working team with a positive work attitude to make a Holiday Park that is the perfect place for its Holiday Home Owners, as well as a pleasant place to work.

(We are also looking for an Office/ Sales Assistant to cover maternity leave.)

Key things to know about this role:

  • The Park is in an early stage of development and has at least a 6-year development plan. Once the Park is developed, it will still need constant maintenance.
  • The role is diverse and different day to day, month to month, the routine of duties will change throughout the seasons.
  • It is an outside role, in allweather conditions, all year round, correct work wear provided.
  • GOOD FITNESS IS ESSENTIAL. This role is not for the faint hearted (It is not a simple gardening role). It is a physically demanding job, the park is 24 acres, and a work vehicle will not always be available. You will certainly achieve your step count goals every day
  • There will be times when you will be required to lift and move things, use ladders and crawl under Holiday Homes.
  • It is a varied role and duties will include but are not limited to things such as mowing the grass, fitting drainage on holiday homes, painting, hard and soft landscaping, cleaning, strimming, general maintenance, hedge cutting, pruning, coppicing, replacing slabs and fences, winterising holiday homes, plant care, maintenance of holiday homes etc.
  • Siting and fitting drainage of Holiday Homes
  • Hand tools, power tools and equipment such as ride on lawn mowers and strimmer's will be used on a daily basis.
  • Health and safety of yourself and colleagues is paramount. Initiative and knowledge of health and safety is needed.
  • Maintenance of equipment and their safe use is essential.
  • There will often be times when the role requires you to work alone and other times with colleagues.
  • A professional, friendly and helpful manner towards Holiday Home owners and customers is a must.
  • Good personal presentation is essential.
  • Reporting and working alongside the Park Managers as well as the Company Directors.
  • Working alongside contractors or working while they are on site.
  • Have initiative, ability to problem solve and an eye for detail. Be creative, versatile and adaptable to the changing role.
  • Take pride in their work to ensure each task is completed to a high standard expected by the Management and Holiday Home Owners.
  • Have a positive and enthusiastic work attitude.
  • Be hard working, follow instructions and trusted to complete tasks to a high standard.
  • Have experience in the use of hand tools and power tools.
  • Have experience in a similar role.
  • Have experience and/ or knowledge in the use of equipment such as ride on lawn mowers, strimmers, power tools etc. Or a willingness and ability to learn how to use them correctly, safely and efficiently.
  • Understand the importance of health and safety in the workplace.
  • Have a valid driving licence.
  • Have experience and/ or knowledge of providing high quality grounds and landscaping work.
  • Have knowledge and awareness about plumbing and gas safety.
  • Have experience and/or knowledge about the maintenance trade.
  • Take pride in their work.
A positive and happy attitude towards the role and ability to learn and follow instructions is essential. Experience is not always necessary but a willingness to work hard and show initiative is more important.

What can we offer you?

  • A competitive rate of pay.
  • Discretionary bonus package.
  • Full uniform, onsite work equipment and safety equipment.
  • Full training.
  • A positive work environment.
This is a new and exciting project, and a unique time to join a company and start a role. It will be very rewarding for the right person.
