ABOUT HORIZON HOLIDAY PARKS
Horizon Holiday Parks is a growing operator of holiday parks across England and Scotland,
providing guests with exceptional outdoor holiday experiences set against some of the UK's most
spectacular landscapes. Our parks feature holiday lodges, static caravans, touring pitches,
glamping facilities, and extensive communal outdoor amenity areas. We are an ambitious
company — actively developing and expanding our park portfolio — and our in-house
maintenance and development team plays a central role in delivering and sustaining the Horizon
standard.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a skilled and experienced Joiner to join the Horizon Holiday Parks team on a
permanent, employed basis. You will be based on the road, travelling across our parks in both
England and Scotland, carrying out a broad range of joinery work with a primary focus on the
installation, repair, and maintenance of timber and uPVC decking across our holiday home and
communal areas.
In addition to your decking duties, you will be a key member of the team supporting active park
development projects — working as part of wider development programmes as we build out,
refurbish, and enhance our parks. This may include first and second fix joinery, fit-out works, and
general joinery tasks associated with new park infrastructure and holiday accommodation
development.
This is a road-based role covering England and Scotland. Overnight stays away from home will
be a routine part of the position, planned in advance in consultation with you. A company vehicle
and overnight accommodation allowance are included in the package.
