McDougall Holiday Rentals – Kirkcaldy / Fife
£14.00 per hour
25 hours per week
Monday to Friday, 9.30am–2.30pm
We are looking for a reliable and practical person to join our small holiday letting business as a Holiday Lettings & Property Assistant.
This is a varied role supporting the day-to-day running of our holiday rental properties across Fife. A significant part of the job will involve processing the laundry used within our properties, but the role is deliberately broader than a standard laundry or housekeeping position.
When laundry requirements are quieter, you will spend time visiting properties, carrying out checks, identifying maintenance or replacement items and helping us keep each property properly equipped and maintained.
The working hours are 9.30am to 2.30pm, Monday to Friday, making the position particularly suitable for someone looking for regular weekday hours which fit around school times or other commitments.
Main responsibilities
The role will include:
- Washing, drying, ironing, folding and preparing bed linen, towels and other laundry used within our holiday properties
- Operating commercial laundry equipment
- Organising and preparing clean linen ready for property changeovers
- Visiting holiday rental properties across Fife
- Carrying out routine checks on properties and their contents
- Checking crockery, cutlery, kitchen equipment and other household items
- Identifying anything which needs to be replaced, replenished or repaired
- Spotting maintenance issues and reporting these clearly
- Taking photographs of maintenance problems or planned works
- Updating our maintenance and planned works records
- Helping us keep an accurate record of work required at each property
- Carrying out other practical tasks connected with the running of the holiday letting business when required
About you
We are looking for someone who is:
- Reliable and dependable
- Organised and able to manage their own workload
- Comfortable working independently
- Practical and able to notice when something does not look quite right
- Confident using a smartphone or tablet to take photographs and update records
- Able to communicate clearly about maintenance or property issues
- Happy working in a small business where the workload can vary from day to day
- Comfortable travelling between properties when required
Previous experience in commercial laundry, housekeeping, property maintenance, holiday letting or a similar role would be useful, but it is not essential. Reliability, common sense and attention to detail are equally important to us.
Driving
A full UK driving licence is essential, as the role will involve travelling between our properties and driving a company vehicle when required.
Applicants must also meet the eligibility requirements of our company vehicle insurer.
