Painter & Decorator – The Medlock at Etihad Campus, Manchester
An exceptional opportunity for a skilled, detail-driven Painter and Decorator to play a key role in shaping and maintaining the look and feel of a landmark new hotel at the heart of Manchester’s Etihad Campus, home to Manchester City Football Club.
This brand-new 401-key hotel is set to be a game-changer in hospitality, seamlessly integrating with one of the most prestigious entertainment and sporting destinations globally.
The next evolution of the Etihad Campus will see it become a thriving sports and entertainment district, featuring state-of-the-art training facilities, a world class 60,000 seater stadium, and vibrant leisure spaces including the Co-op Live arena. It will become a world-class hub for elite sport, music, and entertainment, attracting visitors from around the world.
The new hotel will sit at the heart of a vibrant and evolving Etihad Campus — an exceptional place for guests, teams, partners and fans to rest, reset and immerse themselves in everything the campus has to offer.
We're opening our doors soon and we're building a team that's as warm, grounded and full of personality as the city we call home.
What you'll be doing:
At Medlock, decorating is more than keeping walls looking fresh—it’s about creating an environment that feels cared for, considered and effortlessly inviting. You’ll take pride in the details others might not notice, ensuring every finish, surface and space looks exactly as it should, so every guest experience feels comfortable, polished and complete.
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.
You’ll take ownership of all aspects of painting and decorating—from day-to-day touch-ups to larger planned works—making sure every area consistently reflects our standards. Whether it’s a guest room, a public space or the wider surroundings, your work will help shape an environment that feels well maintained, welcoming and true to the character of the hotel.
Working alongside trusted contractors and your wider team, you’ll approach safety, quality and presentation with care and consistency, always doing things the right way.
No two days will look the same. You’ll balance hands-on work with forward planning and regular checks, bringing a proactive mindset and a strong sense of pride to everything you do.
Our hotel never stops, and neither does the care behind it. We operate 365 days a year, with shift patterns designed to reflect the rhythm of the business—offering flexibility where possible. Specific hours and working patterns can be discussed at interview.

- Has proven hotel experience, in a similar role, ideally within an upscale or lifestyle environment
