Positive Retreats jobs in England

Outstanding Maintenance Assistant required to join a dedicated on‑site team at a truly beautiful countryside, wellness retreat venue in West Norfolk.

This is a hands‑on, practical role for someone who genuinely enjoys fixing, maintaining and improving things, the kind of person who notices when something isn’t quite so and takes pride in putting it right.

Working alongside an experienced and highly respected Maintenance Manager, you will help care for a unique site that includes log cabins, guest accommodation, a swimming pool, café, pathways, landscaped grounds and multiple ongoing projects.

• Supporting event and booking set‑ups and breakdowns
• Ensuring everything looks, feels and functions at a high standard for guests
