Customer Service/sales Assistant

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-owned 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 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 part time receptionist.
