Housekeeping Glamping Crew Festival

Event and Festival work with Wildernest, a bespoke glamping company. We’re looking for proactive people to join our Housekeeping team for three festivals this summer.

Housekeeping is an extremely important role, as it makes the Glamping Village look polished and inviting for our guests. In this role, you’ll prepare Wildernest glamping tents so they’re guest-ready.

Housekeeping experience is a definite advantage, as is any relevant experience working with bell tents, glamping and/or festivals.

What you’ll be doing:

Preparing tents to be guest-ready, including bed-making (hotel experience with triple-sheeting and corner tucks is a plus!), vacuuming, and adding the final touches to make the tents beautiful and inviting.

Making sure the powder room looks fabulous and adding finishing touches to the lounge and dining areas.

Working outdoors in all weather conditions, including hot days inside tents.

This job is perfect for those with a natural flair for detail and a love of working outdoors as part of a team. You’ll be working with like-minded people, travelling for part of the summer and, of course, being part of the festivals. You need to be physically fit and prepared to work long days in the heat. The reward is a fun team to work with and entry to each festival.

Work is also available in the early stages of building the tents, which we ask all housekeeping staff to be part of, including delivering linen into the tents. You need to be physically fit and willing to pitch in and help.

You must have your own vehicle and sleeping arrangements, ideally a campervan or similar.  You will need to be flexible and willing to stay on site overnight for over a week at a time while we set up and pack down. We provide basic cooking facilities, including a fridge, freezer and cooking equipment; you provide your own food and cook for yourself. We also provide staff bathroom facilities and a general hangout area for the crew.

Couples are most welcome to apply. We have a range of work that usually suits both. Or if you’re friends travelling together, let us know. We’re also looking for build crew, and the two roles can cross over.

Ideally we’re looking for crew who can commit to all three festivals.

PLEASE APPLY by sending your CV with a covering email about yourself.
