INFO CONTINUED IN MORE DETAIL

As i said before we are like a big family and everyone considers this as a home away from home, we will make a schedule each week you can manage your time around this.
you will generally have one half of the day free depending if you are on a morning or evening shifty and I'm happy to have people doing the tasks they enjoy rather than things they don't (a happy helper is a good helper) cleaning will consist of vacuuming, sweeping, emptying trash cans, dusting shelves, cleaning windows, and mopping floors, change linens, and do ironing.

other tasks will mainly be focused around the kitchen help when groups have already arrived. our groups normally arrive and leave together and stay for 4 to 5 days and meals will be provide buffet style to help yourself to.

other than this we will provide basic food in the staff building for staff and volunteers on their free time should we not have any bookings.
