Service Team Member

We’re looking for a Service Team Member to join us on the beach at our South Milton Sands Car Park, near Kingsbridge and Salcombe to support our busy teams across visitor operations. This is a rewarding role where you’ll help us meet targets, solve problems, and deliver great service.

Salary: £13.25 per hour

Contract: Fixed term contact until 30-Sep-2026

Hours/ working pattern: Seasonal, flexible, weekends. This is a zero-hour contract, meaning we can’t guarantee a set number of hours each week. While we aim to provide a consistent work pattern, flexibility is needed as schedules may change based on business needs. We’ll try to give as much notice as possible. The role includes weekends and Bank Holidays but does not require evening or split shifts.

For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

Reporting to the Visitor Welcome Manager, you’ll be part of a team of 4. South Milton Sands is a beautiful and remote sandy beach attracting many visitors during the Summertime; our team help these visitors park safely in our huge car park, and assist with helping them register their parking on our machines and app. Outdoor working in all weathers is a major part of this job, and an ability to communicate well with your team and with our visitors.

The core part of your job is to give vital and positive support to your colleagues, wherever you’re needed, with a focus on greeting and helping visitors. No two days will be the same. You’ll work across different visitor areas and sites, helping us meet service and targets. You’ll also be on hand to resolve customer issues in a friendly and helpful way.

Tasks could include welcoming visitors, restocking shelves in the shop, clearing tables in the café, and answering questions to help people get the most out of their visit.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re:

• Focused on giving great service to everyone you meet
• Confident speaking with visitors and solving problems
• A team player, but also happy to work on your own initiative
• Well‑organised, adaptable, and flexible to work across different sites
• Willing to learn new skills and work towards shared goals
