Are you looking for a flexible role and be part of a lovely team that provides excellent customer care to our customers in Bridport & Lyme Regis Harbours? If you are, then a great opportunity has arisen to join the Harbours seasonal team.

Reporting to the Harbour Master, the role will be varied and interesting. The post holder will need to be motivated and flexible in their approach to work, confident in using their own initiative and able to prioritise daily tasks

This is a flexible, Zero hours role, typically around 20 to 30 hours a week, where you’ll be part of a welcoming and supportive team working along Dorset’s beautiful coastline.
