Holiday Home Caretaker – Manawatu / Whanganui

We are seeking a Caretaker for our newly purchased Foxton Beach holiday home.

Changeover services (between 10 am-12 pm) include:

• Inspect the unit to ensure that the property has been left in good condition.
• Check that appropriate cleaning has been performed by outgoing occupants.
• If cleaning has not been completed by outgoing occupants, you will be required to notify Head Office and do the cleaning before the next occupant arrives.
• Review the feedback book, action any small maintenance requests (example: replace broken kettle) and notify Head Office of any big maintenance repairs required so we can organise a tradesman.
• Bookings are mostly week-long (Fri-Fri), but you will also have the odd daily stays too so flexibility is required.
• The caretaker may be required to provide ad hoc services outside of their hours should Members have urgent issues with the units.
