Summary

We`re looking for a Holiday Cottage Cleaner to prepare our popular holiday cottages in the Longshaw Peak District area.

This role is based on annualised hours, where the amount of hours you work each month may vary, however your salary will be paid in 12 equal instalments over the year. You`ll work 624 hours per year.

Internally within the National Trust, you will be known as a `Holidays Operation Assistant`.

Please note the advertised salary is inclusive of a £3 per hour reviewable market supplement. Your base salary will be £12.75 (£24,862.5 per annum) and you`ll receive the market supplement as an allowance on top.

If you need to, you`ll also replace any broken items from the store supplies.
