WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
Working Couple for 31 unit NH Lakes Region Motel and Cottages
We are looking for a couple to live on site in 3 bedroom managers houaw and provide front desk solution, assistant management support, and yardwork/gardens, light maintenance, and some head housekeeping assistance depending on which scenario below you may be interested.
We are looking for couple who understands this business is 24/7. We don’t expect that. We are dividing up the workload to ensure time to live and enjoy. A couple is a team, we expect the team to work together. Phones are portable and so is the doorbell. You will not be a slave to the desk (although some days, yep, you will).
Depending upon which scenario below you are interested, you will have two consecutive days or one day off. The season is relatively short with a busy summer.
We are looking for tinkerers and putters. People who take pride and get it done.
This is an ideal position for someone who wants to work and play in New England in the summer and winter in Florida or south in the winter.
