Who we are?
Sandy Balls Holiday Village is a world away from your day to day, with more trees than you can… well, shake a stick at. We have resident alpacas, a bush-craft school and forest laser tag, along with the usual holiday heroes of cycling and swimming. But New Forest holidays are also about tranquillity, which is why our Retreat spa and cosy, cottage-style lodges and caravans are here to help our guests unwind.
We are a dynamic and growing company, shaking up the Great British holiday. At our amazing UK resorts we pull out all the stops and add the bells and whistles to give our guests the holiday of a lifetime. Find out more about our holiday experience on our website: http://www.awayresorts.co.uk
What we need in a nutshell
Some of our fabulous holiday homes come complete with luxury hot tubs. We want you to keep those hot tubs in tip top condition for our guests.
Some of the background
We’re not your average holiday company. Our guests come to our UK resorts to experience a world away from their day-to-day. When they are with us, they play crazy games, enjoy show-stopping entertainment and live in the moment. Our job is to surprise and delight them at every turn.
We need you to be our friendly hot tub hero, who delivers delight by making sure that our guests’ hot tubs are working, ready, and waiting whenever they feel like taking a dip.
What you’ll be doing
Working as part of our slightly bonkers team of holiday heroes, you will be helping to look after all our hot tubs on site. You’ll make sure they are working properly, drain and fill them on changeover days and test them every day, adjusting the chemicals if you need to.
And who knows what else you may find yourself doing. As long as you’re happy to help even when it’s ‘not your job,’ you’re our sort of person.
One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you will need to work your magic on bank holidays too.
Skills, experience and qualities you’ll need
We’ll provide training, but you must:
- Have an awareness of what clean and in working order means – which includes attention to detail and getting a genuine thrill from a job well-done
- Have a friendly and helpful attitude - delightful when you meet guests and good at communicating within your team.
- Have a talent for practical jobs and for trouble-shooting when problems arise
- Be open to learning – experience isn’t as important as eagerness to learn
- Be willing to turn your hand to anything – guests come first, so you need to be alert to their needs and ready to help
It’s about your values too. We have a can-do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, which is captured by our holiday heroes’ mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers – if that’s fired up your curiosity, have a read about it here and decide if it describes you.
Nice to have but not essential
It would be great if you tick some of these boxes too (but we won’t hold it against you if you don’t).
- You know your way around a hot tub
- Experience of working as part of a team
- Experience in the hospitality sector
