Love working outdoors? Handy with tools? Take pride in keeping spaces safe, functional and looking great?
We’re looking for a hands-on Maintenance & Gardener to help keep our camp and accommodation facilities running smoothly and presented to a high standard.

The Role
Reporting to the Facilities Manager, you’ll play a key role in maintaining buildings, gardens, grounds and equipment across our unique outdoor venue.
