We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated COUPLE (2 people) to join our holiday park management team in a full-time capacity.
Dunedin Holiday Park & Motels is located adjacent to the stunning St Kilda beach in the heart of Dunedin city. Near to amenities, shops, approx. 4km to Central Dunedin city, and links to St Clair beach with its fantastic surfing, cafes, and a superb lifestyle.
Our family owned park has 63 units ranging from motels to cabins, and over 100 tent/powered sites. We have 3 amenity blocks, including kitchens, bathrooms, TV lounge, guest laundry and BBQ area.
Please visit our website www.dunedinholidaypark.co.nz for details and pictures of our beautiful park.
As holiday park managers, the expectation is that you will be “hands on” in all areas of our busy holiday park. You will be the face of our company to ensure the successful day to day running of the business.
Primarily one person will be the office manager. This person will be responsible for the reception, bookings and excellent customer service. Whilst the second person will be the park operations manager who will be responsible for the buildings, grounds, repairs and general handyman maintenance around the park.
However, these roles need to be adapted during different seasons, in particular the park operations manager must be competent in reception, making reservations and communicating with guests in person, via phone and email.
You will report directly to the General Managers, however you will also be responsible for directing and leading our housekeeping team, and other members of our reception team.
Managing your own time, organising staff, and getting tasks completed on a daily basis are strengths you need to possess to be successful in this role.
This position is an onsite/live in position with great remuneration and accommodation package available for the right people. Ongoing support and training from the general managers. Onsite house is provided, with fully fenced private backyard.
This is an amazing opportunity for a motivated couple looking to work together in a great working lifestyle or take the next step in their career in the accommodation industry.
