Bachcare is looking for a HOST WITH THE MOST! If you prefer to spend your day out and about rather than sitting at a desk, with variable hours that fit into your lifestyle - we have your dream job.

The Role:
As a Holiday Manager, you are the face of Bachcare. You have a portfolio of holiday homes to manage whilst welcoming and greeting guests on arrival. You take pride in ensuring that each of your guests has an amazing holiday.

You will work closely with our Operations Team to resolve on the ground issues with the hope that our guest experience exceeds their expectations. There will also be the requirement to clean and prepare your holiday homes for guests arriving and departing.

We are looking for:
Someone who is truly fanatical about the guest experience and helping people find their happy place whilst on holiday. You must be a jack of all trades and are in your element when you have to roll your sleeves up and make things happen.

You are an absolute guru when it comes to organising and thrive in an environment where you have to multi-task 101 different things. You must have a can-do attitude and love being a part of a fun hard-working team.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
