We are seeking to appoint an Operations Assistant to join the team at Dorney Lake. Dorney Lake is a modern world-class rowing and flat water canoeing centre set in a spectacular 400-acre parkland near Windsor. This role is to assist in the day to day operations and responsibilities involved in all aspects of the site and business which include the grounds, buildings and events, with a focus on on-site security, water safety and the driving and maintenance of the various boats.
For the successful candidate, we may be able to offer accommodation in a two-bedroom flat (which is currently rent free) on Queen’s Eyot, an exclusive island owned by Eton College and accessed adjacent to nearby Bray Marina. In return for the accommodation, there would be some additional responsibilities supporting the College with the day-to-day management and stewardship of the island. Further details can be provided to candidates who are interested. The accommodation is entirely optional and is not a requirement of the role. Candidates will be selected solely on their suitability for the core Operations Assistant position. If you would like to be considered for the accommodation, please indicate this in your application.
