What You’ll Be Doing
As part of our team of holiday heroes, you will help the Maintenance team to ensure everything is in good working order. Your work will include:
- Carpentry, e.g., repair of doors, windows, kitchen units, walls and floors, signage, roofs & gutters and just about anything else wooden that you can think of.
- Hedge cutting, grass cutting, maintaining park grounds to our 5 star standards.
- Landscaping, including paving and fencing.
- Painting, decorating, and tiling.
- Maintenance jobs; everything from replacing light bulbs to troubleshooting faulty locks and cutting keys.
- Carrying out maintenance checks and repairs on changeover days, working with other tradespeople when necessary
- Pretty much anything else that other people can’t do!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Guests and staff will look to you to fix what’s broken and restore order, so you will need to be confident, friendly and obliging in addition to your practical skills.
One more thing…holidays happen at holiday times, so you’ll need to work your magic on bank holidays, evenings and weekends too.
Skills, Experience, And Qualities You’ll Need.
We will train you, but you’ll need to have the following skills and experience to apply for this role:
- Ability to carry out domestic repairs and maintenance, e.g., tiling, painting, lock repairs etc
- An understanding of Health & Safety at work
- Full UK Driving licence
Add in the ability to think for yourself and be proactive, great people skills, unfailing enthusiasm, and extremely high standards of craftsmanship - if you’ve got all that, you’re in the running.
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):
- Experience of working in a holiday park.
