Indoor / outdoor accommodation and activities for Groups.
We offer camping and indoor accommodation on a 22 acre site with a good standard of accommodation, ample parking for all your needs and attractive rates for group bookings, amid beautiful surroundings in the Gloucestershire countryside, close to the old market town of Newent.
Despite the recent very cold weather, our volunteers have done a fantastic job of erecting all 4 of the new lodges, now comes the long job of fitting them out. TRAC is very grateful to all our volunteers, if you think you might want to get involved as a volunteer, we’re on site every Tuesday and Friday, why not pop along and say hello?

The work on the new timber camping lodges is progressing nicely. The 3rd of 4 bases is complete, the waste and rainwater drains are in and the utilities trench is almost finished. Tremendous effort by all the volunteers. Don't forget that we are always looking to welcome new volunteers to join us for grounds work, building, general maintenence, gardening or almost anything else you can think of.

The lake is amazingly low at the moment but so far the fountains are keeping the water aerated and fairly Algae free and the fish seem to be doing OK.

The fountain pump has been cleaned. Much better now. Lovely flowers around the lake too.

There is a position vacant at Tom Roberts Adventure Centre (TRAC) for someone to join the housekeeping staff. This is a post that attracts a wage in line with the Government suggested National Living Wage and so pays £9.50 per hour currently. This is a zero-hours contact but attracts pro rata allowances in accordance with government guidelines. The start date is immediate.
TRAC is a residential Adventure Centre that is run with a Christian Ethos. There are 41 beds in 9 rooms and currently 1 lodge (4 more being added this year). In addition, there are kitchen and dining facilities, a conference centre, a games room, and a toilet block that is used by our campers and day visitors. These are the main areas that will require cleaning. The website shown below will give you all the information you need to find out about who we are and what we do, and lists all the other activities available on site. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more.
The usual workday is 0900-1500 every Thursday, occasionally Wednesday by arrangement. The TRAC customer will have already cleaned and cleared up after themselves, but the job involves a complete deep clean of the premises as required after one of our customers leaves.
The applicant must be willing to vary the hours when necessary to allow for days when customers leave mid-week on days other than Thursday and occasionally will be required to work Saturday or Sunday. Additional hours may be available ad hoq and by arrangement. Housekeeping staff with children may occasionally bring their wards with them when work is required at holidays and weekends.
Please contact me by email or using the mobile number below (email is best) if you want to discuss anything or to apply for the job.
