Working alongside an experienced and highly respected Maintenance Manager, you will help care for a unique site that includes log cabins, guest accommodation, a swimming pool, café, pathways, landscaped grounds and multiple ongoing projects.

• Constant variety, no repetitive days or same routines
• A supportive, respectful team that values good work
• Ongoing projects and improvements to get stuck into
• A full‑time, long‑term opportunity with stability and purpose

This is a role for someone who wants to be busy, useful and trusted, working with their hands and seeing the difference their effort makes every single day.
