Facilities Assistants

Essex Outdoors Mersea is taking applications for Facilities Assistants for 2025.

We’ll be looking for enthusiastic and motivated people to join our facilities team.

The Facilities Assistant – Cleaner is responsible for ensuring that facilities and resources are suitable for use; and for ensuring a safe and clean environment for staff and customers.

Aged 16 years or over, while experience isn’t essential, you’ll need to have plenty of energy and initiative and be great at working as part of a team as well as on your own. Based at our very busy outdoor activity centre, you will be part of a friendly, customer-focussed group of people in a vibrant fast-paced environment.

During the season there may be some early starts and late finishes, as well as the requirement to work weekends or bank holidays. In return we provide a competitive salary, full in-house training for all staff, as well as an Essex Outdoors t-shirt to wear with your own presentable attire and appropriate footwear.

Full in-house training is provided and there may also be the opportunity to complete nationally recognised qualifications.

Important Information

• You will need to be aged 16 or over at the start of your employment
• You will need to be available to work throughout the main season which runs May to August. We will ask for details of your availability when you apply.
