Job Opportunities at Pentillie Castle & Estate

Housekeeping (Part-Time, Flexible)

We’re looking for a reliable, hard-working and experienced individual to join our housekeeping team on a flexible, ad-hoc basis.

As our business continues to grow — particularly with the opening of Quay Cottage as a holiday let — we’re looking for an extra pair of hands to help us maintain the high standards our guests expect across all areas of the business.

This is not a seasonal summer role. We’re looking for someone interested in a longer-term position who can become a trusted part of the team.

The role involves housekeeping, preparing guest spaces to a high standard, and occasional front of house support when needed. Attention to detail is essential, as is the ability to work efficiently, take initiative and work confidently both independently and as part of a team.

What we’re looking for:

  • Previous housekeeping or hospitality experience preferred

  • Reliable and punctual with a strong work ethic

  • Able to work independently and use initiative

  • Friendly, professional and team-oriented

  • Comfortable with physically active work

  • Weekend availability is essential

Hours & Flexibility

This is a flexible, part-time position with hours varying depending on the season and guest bookings.

Typical shifts:

  • 4–6 hours

  • Usually finished by 4pm

Typical weekly hours:

  • Summer: usually 1–2 shifts per week

  • Winter: usually 3–4 shifts per week

The role would suit someone looking for flexible ongoing work rather than full-time employment or temporary summer work.

While the work can be physically demanding at times, it’s also incredibly rewarding — especially when guests notice and appreciate the care and standards we work hard to maintain.

To apply, please email your CV and a short cover letter to marketing@pentillie.co.uk.

If you feel you have something to offer the Castle and business, even if we are not actively recruiting, please do feel free to send us a covering letter and CV at any time. We will always welcome any applicants.
