Offer description

Our Mission

Our retreat house is a place of peace, reflection, and renewal — a sanctuary where guests can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most. We believe in creating a warm, welcoming environment where every detail, from a freshly prepared meal to a spotless guest room, contributes to a sense of calm and care.

The Impact You'll Make

As our General Assistant, you’ll be at the heart of our guests’ experience. Your work will help create the atmosphere of comfort and serenity that makes our retreat house so special. Whether you’re preparing a wholesome breakfast, greeting guests with a smile, or ensuring rooms are immaculate, you’ll be part of a small, dedicated team that makes people feel truly at home.

What You'll Do

* Assist in the kitchen — from preparing and serving meals to keeping the space clean and organised.
* Provide a warm, friendly welcome to guests and support them during their stay.
* Carry out housekeeping duties, ensuring bedrooms, bathrooms, and communal areas are spotless and inviting.
* Help set up and clear away for events, workshops, and group activities.
* Work collaboratively with the retreat house team to maintain a calm, respectful, and supportive environment.

What You'll Bring

* A friendly, approachable manner and a genuine desire to help others feel comfortable.
* Flexibility to work across different tasks — from kitchen work to front-of-house duties.
* Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
* Reliability and the ability to work both independently and as part of a small team.
* Previous experience in hospitality, housekeeping, or catering is helpful but not essential — a positive attitude and willingness to learn are most important.

Why You'll Love It Here

* Work in a beautiful, tranquil setting that inspires calm and wellbeing.
* Be part of a small, supportive team where your contribution is valued.
* Paid at the Real Living Wage (£ per hour).
* Opportunities to learn new skills across hospitality, catering, and guest services.
* The satisfaction of knowing your work directly enhances someone’s retreat experience.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and walks of life.

If you’re someone who takes pride in creating a warm, welcoming environment and enjoys variety in your work, we’d love to hear from you.
