Full job description

20 hours per week, with accommodation and all household bills included

We are looking for a reliable, practical and trustworthy person to help with the day-to-day care and maintenance of a smallholding, its grounds, animals and associated properties.

This is a varied, hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys outdoor work, is comfortable around animals and can work both independently and as part of a small team.

Accommodation is available throughout the week, with all household bills and Wi-Fi included. The position may particularly suit a part-time university student seeking employment and accommodation, or someone looking for a practical part-time role with fully supported accommodation.

The property is within easy walking distance of the railway station and approximately 17 minutes by train from Norwich. The entire site and accommodation are Wi-Fi enabled. Parking is available for one car.

The successful applicant will be free to undertake other employment or study during their non-working hours, provided this does not interfere with agreed duties, animal-care responsibilities or occasional emergency availability.

Main responsibilities

The role will include a mixture of grounds maintenance, property upkeep, practical smallholding work and animal care. Duties may include:

Mowing lawns and maintaining paddocks, grassed areas and field edges
Cutting hedges, pruning trees and clearing overgrown areas
Weeding, planting and general garden maintenance
Maintaining fences, gates, paths, tracks and boundaries
Cleaning and tidying barns, sheds, animal areas and storage spaces
Carrying out minor repairs and general property maintenance
Identifying and reporting larger maintenance issues
Using and maintaining garden and smallholding tools and machinery
Moving feed, bedding, fencing materials and other supplies
Assisting with seasonal work and property-improvement projects
Helping to keep the smallholding, grounds and buildings safe, tidy and well maintained

Experience in property maintenance would be ideal, particularly experience with minor repairs, decorating, basic carpentry, general building upkeep or similar practical work.

Holiday-let support

There are three holiday-let properties on the site.

On one day each week, the successful applicant will work alongside a housekeeping team of two people who manage the changeovers of the holiday lets.

Changeover-day duties may include:

Assisting the housekeeping team with practical tasks as required
Moving linen, supplies and equipment
Carrying out minor maintenance and repairs
Checking entrances, pathways and outdoor areas
Helping to ensure the properties and surrounding areas are safe, tidy and ready for arriving guests
Reporting any damage, faults or maintenance concerns promptly

This is not primarily a housekeeping position, but a willingness to work cooperatively with the housekeeping team and assist with practical changeover tasks is essential.

Swimming-pool care

The property includes a swimming pool, and the role will involve helping with its routine care and maintenance.

Previous experience of swimming-pool care would be beneficial but is not essential, as appropriate training will be provided.

Pool-related duties may include:

Routine visual checks
Cleaning the pool and surrounding area
Checking filtration and other equipment
Monitoring the water and carrying out agreed testing
Reporting faults or concerns promptly
Following all training and safety procedures

Dog and animal care

An important part of the role will be helping to care for the dogs and other animals on the smallholding.

Duties may include:

Feeding and providing fresh water
Walking and supervising the dogs
Cleaning animal areas
Monitoring the animals’ general wellbeing
Assisting with routine animal husbandry
Taking responsibility for feeding and essential animal care when the owner is away

The successful applicant must be kind, calm and confident around dogs and able to manage their routine care responsibly.

Accommodation and occasional out-of-hours assistance

Accommodation is available for the whole week and includes:

Rent
Electricity
Heating
Water
Council tax
Wi-Fi

There may occasionally be a need for assistance outside normal working hours. Examples could include:

An urgent fencing problem
A fallen tree or blocked access
An animal welfare concern
Another unexpected issue affecting the safety of the animals or property

These situations are expected to be occasional rather than routine. The successful applicant must, however, be willing to offer reasonable assistance in an emergency when staying on the property.

Any regular animal-care commitments and arrangements for additional hours or emergency assistance will be agreed clearly in advance.

About you

The successful applicant will be:

Reliable, punctual and trustworthy
Kind, calm and confident around dogs and other animals
Practical and willing to undertake a varied range of tasks
Able to work independently and use initiative
Able to work positively as part of a small team
Physically able to carry out outdoor and manual work
Comfortable working outside in different weather conditions
Respectful of the property, its guests, animals and the owner’s privacy
Able to respond calmly and sensibly to occasional problems or emergencies

Previous experience in property maintenance, farming, grounds maintenance, animal care, landscaping, equestrian work or working on a smallholding would be particularly helpful.

Experience using equipment such as ride-on mowers, strimmers, chainsaws or compact tractors would also be useful, where the applicant has the appropriate training and competence.

A driving licence would be ideal but is not essential because the property is easily accessible from the local railway station.

Hours, pay, accommodation and location

Approximately 20 working hours per week
Working pattern to be agreed
One regular working day alongside the holiday-let housekeeping team
Accommodation available throughout the week
All household bills and Wi-Fi included
Parking available for one car
Occasional out-of-hours animal care or emergency assistance may be required
Additional paid hours may sometimes be available
Rate of pay: £130 per 8 hour day
Location: Palgrave, Diss
Approximately 17 minutes by train from Norwich
Within easy walking distance of the railway station

To apply, please send a brief summary of your experience, practical skills and availability. Please include any relevant experience in property maintenance, grounds work, animal care, swimming-pool care or smallholding work, together with contact details for two references.

Pay: £130.00-£150.00 per day

Benefits:

Free parking
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
