Truro, 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Have knowledge and awareness about plumbing and gas safety.
- Have experience and/or knowledge about the maintenance trade.
