Lodge All-Rounder Assistant Timber Trail Lodge location Manawatu. $20 - $29.99 per hour.

The Timber Trail Lodge is situated at the halfway point of the Timber Trail located in the centre of the North Island - nestled in the heart of Pureora Forest. The lodge primarily provides accommodation, transport and bike hire for users on the Timber Trail which is one of New Zealand’s most renowned Great Rides.  We are currently looking to continue our outstanding customer experience and seek an equally outstanding team of hospitality all-rounders to join us for upcoming seasonal work.

The role includes a range of customer service functions including front of house, food and bar service, kitchen and food preparation, housekeeping and administration.  We provide a thorough induction and job training in a supportive team environment. We are looking for applicants with great customer service ethic and the ability to work in a team environment. Applicants must be able to work on roster across all days of the week.

Although not essential we would welcome people with hospitality and/or cooking experience and/ or qualifications including bar manager licence. Couples are welcome to apply. Given the remote location, access to transport in and out of the forest is recommended. This is a valuable opportunity to gain experience and qualifications in tourism and hospitality such as Food Control Qualification, First Aid Certificate and Bar Managers Certificate.

We will look at candidates who either travel-in or live-in. The live-in crew are accommodated in comfortable and private on-site cabins. We offer a competitive wage, meals, utilities, laundry, electric bikes and Wi-Fi.  It goes without saying that this is a great opportunity to also enjoy the stunning forest park and mountain bike trails around this amazing location.
