Work History

Club Custodian

Pineglades Naturist Club
05.2024 - Current

I am the first point of contact for people enquiring about Pineglades. I look after the phone around the clock answering any questions and taking bookings for the accommodation. During the height of the season I would manage in excess of 30 calls and emails a day. I am the first point of contact for the members if there is a problem on site as such I also organise repairs and maintenance. I am responsible for payments made to the club and also making purchases when needed. It is my responsibility to keep a tally of members and visitors and prepare a monthly report to be presented at the committee meeting. It is my responsibility to clean and look after the accommodation and make sure it is comfortable and inviting for visitors. My most important aspect of the job is to interview people and ensure that they are of strong moral fibre as the safety of our members is paramount.
