Part Time Cleaner

THE OPPORTUNITY

Edenhall is a 1,500-acre estate on the edge of the Lake District: lakes, rivers, ancient woodland, a working tenanted dairy farm, a private family residence, and a growing collection of cottages, halls and cabins. After years of careful restoration, the estate is in the middle of a thoughtful renewal — welcoming weddings, private events, wellness retreats and holiday guests in our beautifully restored properties.

We take enormous pride in the standard of everything we do. That starts with how our spaces look and feel — and this role sits right at the heart of that.

THE ROLE

We are looking for part-time freelance cleaners to join our small, close-knit team and help us keep the estate properties looking their very best. You will work across our accommodation and estate buildings — including offices, holiday lets, and event spaces — making sure everything is spotless, well-presented and ready to welcome guests.

The work is varied, the surroundings are exceptional, and no two days are the same.

Day to day, you will:

• Clean and prepare guest accommodation between stays, ensuring every room meets our high presentation standards.
• Carry out daily and deep-cleaning routines across the estate buildings, including offices and communal areas.
• Make up beds, replace linens and replenish toiletries and supplies.
• Report any maintenance issues or damage promptly to the relevant team member.
• Help keep storage areas, cleaning cupboards and supply inventories tidy and well-stocked.
• Occasionally support the wider team with additional tasks during events or busy guest periods.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You have a keen eye for detail, take real pride in your work, and can get on with things without needing to be chased. Being reliable and a good team player matters more to us than anything else.

• A genuine eye for detail and a high personal standard of cleanliness and presentation.
• Reliable, punctual and trustworthy — the kind of person others can count on.
• A warm, friendly manner and the ability to work well as part of a small team.
• Your own car and a valid UK driving licence — essential given the rural location.
• Previous cleaning or housekeeping experience is helpful but not required; we will provide full training.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

A genuinely lovely place to work — in one of the most beautiful corners of Cumbria. You will join a team that looks out for each other and takes real pride in what they do together. The satisfaction of seeing the difference your work makes to how guests experience Edenhall is something our team mentions again and again.

• Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience.
• A flexible part-time schedule, with days and hours agreed in advance, sometimes at short notice.
• A supportive, close-knit team environment.
