Job description

Dunfield: Resident Site Caretaker 

Location: Dunfield House, Kington 

Terms: 40 Hours Per Week | £26,437 per annum 

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent 

Reporting to: Operations Director 

Start date: Immediate start preferred 

Application Deadline: 29th May 2026 

Benefit: Onsite Accommodation (The Cottage) forming part of the overall remuneration package 

The Heart of the Role: 

Are you a "handy" person who loves the outdoors and takes pride in keeping things ship-shape?

Dunfield House is looking for a Resident Caretaker to live on-site and become the guardian of our beautiful 15-acre estate. 

As part of our "2026 Strategy," we are moving from simply "maintaining" to "thriving." You will be the person who ensures the lights are on, the pool is sparkling, and the grounds are safe for the hundreds of children and community groups who call Dunfield their "home from home" each year. 

What You’ll Be Doing: 

  • Guardian of the Estate: Living on-site in the provided cottage, you’ll be our "eyes and ears," ensuring the site is secure and providing emergency support when groups are staying. 

  • Keeping the Gears Turning: Handling day-to-day repairs, from fixing a leaky tap to painting a bedroom or clearing a gutter. 

  • The Great Outdoors: Mowing the lawns, managing the woodland paths, and keeping the 15 acres looking like the sanctuary our guests expect. 

  • Pool & Plant: Taking charge of our private indoor pool (full training provided) to ensure it is always clean and safe for our guests. 

  • Duty Management: Joining our rotating "Manager on Duty" team (2 shifts per week), greeting guests and ensuring they have everything they need for a perfect stay. 

  • Emergency On-Call: When resident on-site and not on a scheduled shift, act as the designated emergency point of contact for guests. 

  • Boundary Management: Work with the Operations Director to implement and display clear "Emergency Guidelines" for guests, ensuring "on-call" status is reserved strictly for life-safety or significant building-integrity issues (e.g., fire, flood, total power failure). 

  • Response Protocol: Provide immediate assessment of the emergency and, where necessary, coordinate with external emergency services or the Operations Director. 

Who We Are Looking For: 

  • A Practical Problem-Solver: You’re someone who sees a loose hinge or a flickering light and fixes it before anyone even notices. 

  • A Welcoming Presence: You understand the "Dunfield Edge"—that we are a place of hospitality and kindness. You’ll be a friendly face to our guests. 

  • A Self-Starter: Much of your work will be independent. We need someone who can manage their own "to-do" list and prioritize what needs doing. 

  • Community Minded: You understand that Dunfield is a charity with a mission, and you take pride in playing your part to keep it open. 

Why Dunfield? 

  • New Project: You will be joining us at the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Dunfield Houses' long history, moving the Grade II listed building from a volunteer led operation to a professionally managed team of stewards. 

  • Living at Dunfield: This role comes with the benefit of living in The Cottage on-site. It’s a unique opportunity to live in a stunning rural setting. 

This isn't just a job! 

It’s a lifestyle choice for someone who loves the peace and responsibility of estate living.
