Ringwood, United Kingdom Away Resorts Full time

**Location**: Sandy Balls Holiday Village, Fordingbridge, New Forest

**Hours of work**:Variable hours

**Salary**: £11.55 per hour
- Paid weekly

**What we need in a nutshell**

We need someone who will keep our accommodation, and the holiday park, in tip-top condition and looking spectacular; repairing, maintaining, renewing and improving everything from the entrance signage to the back fence.

**Who we are?**

Sandy Balls Holiday Village is a world away from your day to day, with more trees than you canwell, shake a stick at. We have resident alpacas, a bush-craft school and forest laser tag, along with the usual holiday heroes of cycling and swimming. But New Forest holidays are also about tranquillity, which is why our Retreat spa and cosy, cottage-style lodges and caravans are here to help our guests unwind.

**What you’ll be doing**

As part of our team of holiday heroes, you will help the Maintenance Manager to ensure everything is in good working order. Your work will include:

- Carpentry, e.g. repair of doors, windows, kitchen units, walls and floors, signage, roofs & gutters and just about anything else wooden that you can think of.
- Landscaping, including paving and fencing
- Moving and siting Caravans, including external Plumbing
- Painting, decorating and tiling
- Maintenance jobs; everything from replacing light bulbs to troubleshooting faulty locks and cutting keys
- Carrying out maintenance checks and repairs on changeover days, working with other tradespeople when necessary
- Pretty much anything else that other people can’t do

Guests and staff will look to you to fix what’s broken and restore order, so you will need to be confident, friendly and obliging in addition to your practical skills.

One more thing holidays happen at holiday times, so you’ll need to work your magic on bank holidays, evenings and weekends too.

**Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need**
- Experience of building maintenance and carpentry in a similar role
- Ability to carry out domestic repairs and maintenance, e.g. tiling, painting, lock repairs etc
- An understanding of Health & Safety at work
- A good standard of education, ideally to GCSE standard or equivalent

Add in the ability to think for yourself and be proactive, great people skills, unfailing enthusiasm and extremely high standards of craftsmanship - if you’ve got all that, you’re in the running.

It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers - if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.

**What we can offer you**:

- Competitive pension
- Mental Health Support
- Discounts on Away Resorts holidays
- On-park discounts

**Want to join our team? Here’s how to apply**

**Our Promise to You**

Holiday Heroes come with all sorts of different super-powers, and we welcome them all

We embrace diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities. From our investors to our teams we love that everyone comes from different backgrounds, allowing us to grow and inspire each other. We’ll never accept any form of discrimination, and we’ll forever strive not just for our product to be unique but our people too. Afterall, wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same? In short, we want to bring your whole self to work

**Good Luck**
