Guesthouse Housekeeping Chale Bay Farm Source: www.isleofwightjobs.com

A further seasonal vacancy has arisen at our Award Winning Luxury Guest House Chale Bay Farm, as one of our existing team has had to reduce their hours due to illness. We are looking for a confident, well presented, articulate person to join the small friendly team during the main season to work on housekeeping of rooms, and also to help the owners with many other tasks involved in running the guesthouse. This role is a flexible seasonal chambermaid/ housekeeping role with hours typically from 10:30 to early-mid afternoon, so may well complement someone who wants to take on some additional work to dovetail in with another part time job in the afternoons or evenings (e.g. bar work). For the right candidates there is definite scope for expansion into the low season and renewal in subsequent years (as has happened with existing good staff). The essential requirement for this role is having the skills and attention to detail to housekeep guest rooms and bathrooms to a luxury standard, as well as having the necessary physical stamina for the role particularly on days when we are busy with lots of checkouts. Being a relatively small business we need people prepared to roll up their sleeves and work hard and be flexible to the changing demands of the business and for such people we have built up a reputation as generous payers relative to the hotel & hospitality sector. Pay will be based on skills and experience, plus Share of Tips and of course statutory holiday allowance. Previous applicants for our similar roles earlier this year need not apply (unless we have already contacted you by email for a re-interview). The role is ideally 6 days a week (though candidates preferring to work only 5 days will be considered). Weekend and bank holiday working is required and there will be no holiday time granted during the remainder of the summer school holidays or other school holiday periods in the year as being in the tourism industry this simply is not compatible with the peak demand of the job!

Various Apprenticeship Positions with Rapanui Clothing

Rapanui Clothing currently have the following apprenticeship vacancies available:

Business Administration: Every exciting brand needs good business practise behind the scenes. Our business administration apprenticeship programme takes the learner through basic bookkeeping, maintaining office operations, fielding calls, and other administrative tasks with the goal of becoming a valued asset to the management team. The administration apprentice will be coached directly by the Operations Manager in maintaining the company’s administration. The tasks can vary from ordering office supplies to assisting in the preparation of reports to be addressed to the board of directors. The job involves a lot of structure, discipline and confidence as you have a number of set tasks to work through on a daily basis. Full training and support will be given, but a strong work ethic, good interpersonal skills, maths and English and a can-do attitude are essential.

Production: We are looking for a Production Assistant to join our factory floor team. As part of the production team, the production assistant will be responsible for assisting the manager in the delivery of production orders; including screen printing, vinyl printing, direct to garment printing, and embroidery. The Production Assistant will be responsible for maximising factory throughput, and achieving a low reject ratio. The ideal candidate will have good written and verbal communication skills, and be highly organised with the ability to prioritise and multi-task. Rapanui has a fast-paced, can-do culture and is looking for an exciting individual with drive and determination to share in this exciting phase in our brand’s growth.

Customer Service: Rapanui is a fast-growing, multi-award winning ecommerce business on the Isle of Wight. We are looking for a customer service operative to join our team and help deliver customer care to our customers over the phone, via email, and face-to-face.

Internet Marketing: Every exciting brand requires good Internet Marketing practise to get the word out: It is required to execute marketing campaigns in order to grow the brand and drive sales. The internet marketing apprentice will learn to do this by operating industry standard online marketing systems: creating ads, managing spend and reporting back on revenue. The internet marketing apprentice will need to know everything about a product, write a catchy advert with limited characters, and have the confidence to invest company money in a campaign. The apprentice will learn how to analyse performance and optimise return, build campaigns and scale their work to a commercial level, becoming part of the marketing team.

Advertising: Graphic design and marketing are two of the most oversubscribed professions in the 21st century, yet despite this saturation, good design and communication skills still stand out and make an impact – it can make for compelling stories. Rapanui is not looking for a graphic designer. We need the next brilliant visual communicator, someone who has an ability to put together an advert, or a poster and cut through the noise. If you have the raw ingredients to make that happen: Photoshop or illustrator skills, can use a camera or edit video, an ability to think creatively, come up with catchy phrases or write a compelling paragraph and set it up in some typography, this could be your big opportunity. You don’t need to do a degree, or go to London to be the creative behind a big brand. The advertising / branding apprentice will be coached by our brand director for a year. It may be the toughest year of your life ramming in so much learning and experience, but you will come out the end of it at the reigns of one of the fastest growing brands in the UK... all right here on the Isle of Wight.
