THE BAMFORD COLLECTION IS A GROUP OF CONSCIOUSLY MINDED LIFESTYLE BRANDS COMMITTED TO NOURISHING AND NURTURING PEOPLE AND PLANET. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

Daylesford Stays provide experiences that embrace luxury escapism: understated elegance, indulgence and nurture. Each property has been thoughtfully designed to convey a sense of its character and individuality while retaining a feeling of warmth and welcome. Design draws from local skills, craftsmanship and architectural tradition, and buildings have been sensitively but beautifully restored to reflect and respect their environment. Each venue captures a unique spirit and character; a chance to escape every day, to retreat to the sanctuary of a friendly pub, or experience the comfort of a home away from home.

This is a fantastic opportunity where no two days are the same. If you have a passion for providing exceptional experiences and customer service, you are organised and have keen attention to detail this could be the role for you!

Due to insurance purposes, applicants must be a minimum of 25 years old and must have held a full driving licence for a minimum of 3 years. You will be driving a luxury, Jaguar Land Rover fleet vehicle as a part of the role.
