Property Assistant

We’ve got an exciting opportunity for a part-time, temporary Property Assistant to join our regional operations team in North Yorkshire. In this role, you’ll take accountability for maintaining exceptional cleaning standards across a defined geographic patch, ensuring our holiday homes consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences.

We offer a versatile position in a strong professional and social environment – one you’ll have the opportunity to influence and help shape. You’ll be part of an international company that invests in the future, and join a dynamic, fast-paced department with skilled and committed colleagues who support each other.

We’re a people-first business – and we know that our success starts with our teams. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll enjoy:

• Generous discounts on holidays across our brands
• Real opportunities to grow, learn and shape your role as well as careers progression vertically or horizontally, cross countries and responsibilities

By making things simpler and smarter, we are building a business that is ready for what’s next - powered by proud, passionate and inclusive people.

Your mission

As our new Property Assistant, your mission is to safeguard and elevate cleanliness standards across our portfolio in and around North Yorkshire. Working closely with our Regional Operations Manager and third-party cleaning partners, you’ll ensure every property is guest-ready, meets our brand expectations, and reflects our commitment to delighting both owners and guests.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and deliver high cleaning standards across your assigned property portfolio
• Collaborate with third-party cleaning teams to ensure quality, efficiency, and consistency
• Monitor guest feedback and implement improvements to continuously enhance the guest experience
• Partner with property owners to recommend and support property improvements
• Analyse performance data to drive quality, cost, and process improvements
• Support the recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing supply of cleaning partners to meet current and future demand

Who we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy being out and about, working with local partners, and taking pride in maintaining high standards. You’re someone who spots details others might miss and uses both data and initiative to solve problems.

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A full, clean UK driving licence
• A strong focus on quality, thoroughness, and accountability
• Experience working with third-party suppliers or service partners
• Confidence using data and feedback to inform decisions and improvements
• A proactive, hands-on and solution-oriented approach

Worth knowing

Our Property Assistant role is part-time, fixed-term contract (28 hours per week, 3 month contract) and is based in North Yorkshire - ideally the Leyburn, Richmond or Catterick areas. While the position is advertised as Home Based, the successful candidate will need to live in North Yorkshire so they are closer to our holiday homes. Our office hours are 9-5 Monday-Saturday, and so flexibility to work weekends is essential.
