Five reasons to spend your summer working with The Westmorland Family

If that describes you, you’re in luck. One of Cumbria’s most successful local businesses is looking for staff to fill a wide variety of roles; essential to help them make the warm months as good as they can be.

Not convinced yet? Well here are five reasons to spend your summer working with The Westmorland Family.

Not just your typical service station

Tebay Services may be a service area by name, but they’re a food business too. Lamb and beef are sourced from the family farm, and as many ingredients as possible are sourced from other producers in Cumbria. The Kitchen Cafe offers up food made fresh on the premises and the Farmshop is a vital part of the community, with pies, cheese, charcuterie, scotch eggs and award winning baked goods on offer.

Junction 38 Services was created specifically for truckers and coach drivers but has a reputation for delivering delicious food made fresh on site, as well as providing a comfortable lounge and bar to enjoy after those long hours on the road.

As excellent as its services are, The Westmorland Family also run Tebay Services Hotel and Rheged.

Tebay Services Hotel is secluded, tranquil and convenient. The bedrooms are designed for comfort and relaxation, the restaurant offers incredible food, and it’s so friendly even dogs are welcome.

Rheged is a Cumbrian institution. The centre has a bit of everything from films and live streaming, fairs and exhibitions to shops, a playground, and cookery classes. No week is ever the same and it’s impossible to predict what great, unique events they’ll have coming up next.

Are you interested in art? You could become the gallery assistant at Rheged and share your passion with equally enthused visitors.

A people person? Maybe you’ll be working front of house at Tebay Services Hotel, helping to make everyone’s visit feel special.

No matter where your skills lie - be it catering, retail, waitressing or more - there’s a role for you with The Westmorland Family this summer.

<font size=+1>Great perks</font>

They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but that’s not true if you work for The Westmorland Family. As well as a number of free lunch options, staff are also entitled to discounts across the business and a free minibus to and from work (selected sites). That means the money you earn is for you to keep, and not spent on travelling to get there.

<font size=+1>Be part of a family business</font>

The Westmorland Family is a family business driven by long term values. They aim to work with the community and local organisations, from charities to schools, to constantly improve Cumbria.

The company themselves say: “Because we live and work here it is important that we do it well and invest back into our communities because we, our families, our children and our grandchildren will live in this landscape and be part of those communities.”

Working for The Westmorland Family means working for a local, family run business which is driven by principles carried from one generation to the next.
