General Assistant - Condover Hall, Shropshire

Who are JCA?

With over 25 years’ experience in the outdoor adventure industry, JCA are leaders in activity experiences for school, youth and sports groups!

In this role, you will be based at JCA’s flagship centre, Condover Hall in Shrewsbury. With capacity for over 500 guests and over 40 activities on site, Condover Hall is a busy and exciting place to work for all members of the team!

The low down as a General Assistant…

Our General Assistants are at the heart of Condover Hall’s smooth-running operation. With many different departments across the centre, they’ll be plenty of variety in your role to keep you motivated each day!

A key part of your role will be to help maintain the hygiene and cleanliness standards across the whole centre. Your rota will include time in our restaurant and kitchen as well as guest accommodation.

Whilst in the restaurant, you’ll help to cater for our hungry guests. From setting up the salad bar and prepping cutlery and trays to serving guests and cleaning down after mealtimes, you’ll help our guests with a smile and ensure each service runs like clockwork.

You’ll also help with housekeeping duties and ensure that guest bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas are spick and span ready for the return of our guests after an action-packed day outdoors.

As a team player, you’ll be happy and flexible to undertake other duties when needed including cleaning and maintaining activity equipment, welcoming and serving guests on reception and our on-site shop and ensuring the well-being of our guests during any night porter shifts.
