National Trust

Summary

• INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY***

Are you all about putting people first and giving them the highest standards of service? We’re looking for a Holidays Assistant Manager who can help to make sure that everyone has their best possible holiday with the National Trust.

You'll work 30 hours over 4 days, typically Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with occasional Saturdays.

What it's like to work here

Supervising and leading the housekeeping team, you'll be working as part of a team that manages holiday cottages across Sheringham, Felbrigg, and Blickling.

Sometimes you’ll be working at a desk but a large proportion of time will be out and about visiting holiday cottages and other sites, some of which may be remote.

You'll work closely with both local and wider Holiday Operations teams, sharing best practices and ensuring consistent standards for our guests are maintained at all times.

Beyond day-to-day operations, you’ll also support our Holidays Manager with recruitment, onboarding, and training of new team members, helping to build a strong, knowledgeable team.

There’s also an ongoing focus on compliance, so you’ll assist in keeping everything up to date.
