We need someone who will oversee all maintenance and grounds, keeping the park in tip-top condition and looking spectacular; repairing, maintaining, renewing and improving everything from the entrance signage to the back fence.

Who are we?

In a spectacular estuary setting, Mersea Island Holiday Park offers peace and serenity for guests who want to step away from everyday life and enjoy a complete break. Added magic is provided by an indoor swimming pool and unforgettable events such as Cream Pie Fights, our famous Colour Festival, and a Music Weekender. Mersea Island is one of six Away Resorts holiday parks shaking up the Great British holiday. Find out more on our website: http://www.awayresorts.co.uk/mersea-island

• On-call duties providing security to the park when required
