Groundskeeper and Maintenance Technician
Yurtshire is a market leading Glamping and Wellness Resort on the outskirts of Ripon, set within beautiful grounds in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Beauty.

If you enjoy a variety within your work and managing a varied workload then this could well be the role for you. From completing repairs such as fixing locks and leaky taps, to painting, grass cutting, oiling decks and building yurt structures, no two days are ever the same!
Our team take pride in delivering exceptional guest experience and our sites need to be kept in tip top condition at all times. Inspecting and troubleshooting problems and issues reported by guests or colleagues is a key part of the role and therefore previous maintenance and woodworking experience is essential. Plumbing / electrics would be advantageous, but not essential. Other work experience may include, Handyman, Maintenance Engineer, Joiner. Desirable skills would include, property maintenance & repair, machinery maintenance,
This is a full-time role to include weekend ‘on-call’ duties and working across two sites, having your own transport is also essential, as is the ability to work both as part of a team and independently.
If you are an enthusiastic and hard working individual who takes pride in their work and loves the idea of your workplace being set within the tranquillity of our wellness resorts then this role could be an excellent opportunity for you.
