Location: Tattershall Lakes Country Park, Lincolnshire

Job type: Seasonal

Away Resorts are shaking up the industry and setting the new standards for what to expect from a UK Holiday Park. With 27 parks and resorts around the UK now, our Flagship Resort Tattershall Lakes is jaw dropping not only in its size but also in what it offers our guests.

We are looking for Retail Assistants to join us for our 2026 season in the shop. It is a fast paced busy environment, selling everything from the basics to toys and souvenirs. Experience is not necessary as full training will be provided.

A can do attitude, attention to detail, and excellent people skills are essential. Being available to work evenings and weekends, including bank holidays, is also essential.

• A great working environment - we work hard but have fun along the way.
• Up to 50% discounts on Away Resorts holidays.
• Monthly team incentives.
• Career development - if you are hungry for more, we have a proven track record in investing in our team members.

What you will be doing

We need someone who understands that a first class guest experience is an essential part of their stay at Tattershall Lakes. Here are some of the things you will be doing:

• Meeting and greeting guests with a friendly welcome.
• Ensuring the team is all looking after our guests.
• Ensuring restocking at the end of a shift.
• Complying with all the legal requirements.
• Serving on your own, or within a team.
• Replenishing shelves and facing up.
• Basic cooking of pastries and bread.
• Keeping your area clean, tidy, and well stocked.
• Generally making sure everybody is having a great time.

If you are happy to help even when it is 'not your job,' you are the sort of person we are looking for.

Skills, experience, and qualities you will need

We have high standards! We will train you up, but you must:

• Have customer service experience and skills.
• Relish the fast pace of a busy shop.
• Be someone who does things without needing to be asked.
• Be a people person; easy to talk to and never happy until your guests are.
• Have experience of working in a team.

It's about your values too. We have a can do, fun loving, people centred ethos here at Away Resorts, captured by our holiday heroes' mantra of Attentive Amazing Lovers - if that fired up your curiosity, read about it here and decide if it describes you.

Nice to have but not essential

• Experience in a busy retail environment.
• A good knowledge of retailing.
• Experience of working in the holiday sector.
• Experience managing a team.
