Overview

Nestled along the stunning South Devon coastline, Cofton Holidays is a family‑owned holiday park where people truly matter. We pride ourselves on creating unforgettable guest experiences—and that starts with our dedicated, skilled team.

The Role

We’re looking for a proactive, multi‑skilled Estates Assistant to support a variety of key areas across the park. Your work may include Guest Service Warden duties, hot tub maintenance, grounds work, amenity block cleaning, and general complex cleaning. You’ll play a vital role in keeping our facilities running smoothly and ensuring our guests enjoy a clean, safe, welcoming environment.

This is a hands-on, varied role working across multiple departments—no two days are ever the same.

Key Responsibilities
  • Welcome guests and carry out “show on” duties to ensure smooth arrivals and orientation
  • Complete daily warden checks, including routine safety and site inspections
  • Maintain high standards of cleanliness across facilities, pathways, communal areas, and amenity blocks
  • Keep the main complex and its amenities clean, well-presented, and on schedule
  • Carry out hot tub changeovers on Mondays and Fridays, including draining, cleaning, and refilling
  • Support general estate upkeep, maintenance tasks, and groundskeeping
  • Tow caravans, trailers, or equipment safely around the park
  • Work closely with Guest Services, Accommodation, and Maintenance teams to deliver seamless service
  • Use our booking system to manage late arrivals
  • Participate in on-call overnight shifts (accommodation provided when required)

This role is ideal for someone friendly, energetic, and self-motivated, with a passion for delivering excellent guest service.

Who We’re Looking For
  • Experience as a park warden, groundskeeper, cleaner, or similar role (desirable)
  • Full driving licence
  • Towing/trailer experience is an advantage
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Flexible, with weekend availability
  • Basic IT confidence for using booking systems
Working Pattern & On-Call

Includes weekend and out-of-hours support on a rota basis. On-call allowances and call-out payments apply in line with company policy.

What You’ll Get In Return
  • A stunning place to work every day
  • A supportive, energetic team that feels like family
  • Opportunities to grow within a thriving, independent business
  • Competitive pay
  • Free use of our state-of-the-art gym and leisure facilities
  • Access to staff rewards, recognition platforms, and discounts
  • 24/7 mental and physical wellbeing support, including free counselling
  • Complimentary team breakfasts and wellbeing perks
  • Discounts on food, drink, holidays, PT sessions, and gym classes
  • Company pension scheme
  • “Refer a Friend” rewards
  • Free uniform and on-site parking
  • On site accommodation may be available for suitable candidate
