General Assistant (live in available) Coniston, England
Job description
We are looking for two excellent general assistants to join our team for the 2023 season.
Our working farm is off the beaten track in the stunning Lake District National Park on the edge of Coniston Water (lake) and next to Grizedale forest, a renowned open water swimming and mountain biking destination.
From the farm we run a guesthouse, self catering cottages, restaurant and cafe, mountain bike/paddle-board/boat hire, farm shop and kennels. We sleep up to 60 persons.
Your role will involve lots of variety from serving breakfast and waiting on tables, to setting up the cafe cakes, baking, kitchen assistance, prepping food, front of house duties (taking bookings/answering enquiries/ checking in/out guests etc...), helping with mountain bike & boat hire, general maintenance including house-keeping and gardening….
You must have a sense of humour and be a yes person. Don’t worry we will train you in areas that you are unfamiliar with and you can guarantee that no two days will ever be the same again!
The boring bit
It would be preferable if you had your own car as we are a 20 minute walk into the village and public transport is infrequent and the bus station is relatively far away if it's hammering it down!
Applicants must be legally able to work in the UK with NI numbers & bank accounts. You must speak and write English fluently.
We are looking for people who are common sense-minded, trustworthy, reliable, hard working and are quick to learn and think on their feet - a sense of humour wouldn’t go a miss!
If this is the kind of role/life style you would be interested in please apply with: - a current CV - two work references - and a short covering letter explaining why you think you should be considered.
First round (Skype) interviews will take place soon.
