• Coordinate with outsourced Health & Safety providers and ensure compliance (IOSH qualification preferred – training can be provided).
• Be the go-to person for emergencies and staffing issues, including agency coordination and out-of-hours support.
• Commission tradespeople and manage purchasing of cleaning and maintenance supplies.
• Support ongoing property renovation projects and ensure contingency plans are in place.

Your Team Includes:

• Head Chef
• Head Gardener
• Night Porter
• 3 Housekeepers
• Maintenance Assistant

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong man-management and interpersonal skills.
• Experience in hospitality, facilities, or estate management.
• Ability to think on your feet and remain calm under pressure.
• A flexible, can-do attitude – willing to roll up your sleeves when needed.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• IOSH qualification (or willingness to complete the course).

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a supportive and collaborative team.
• Work in a beautiful, fully operational estate with a rich variety of events and activities.
• Opportunity to shape and improve standards across departments.
• Training and development opportunities, including IOSH certification.
