- Previous experience in housekeeping or cleaning services
- Experience using the Mews hotel system is considered an advantage
- Good English language skills – English is used daily in our work environment
- A valid category B driving license

- A unique workplace on top of the fell
- A fixed-term employment contract (90 hours / 3 weeks) for the Christmas season, running from mid-November until the end of December 2026.
