Scottish island employer advertises job with live-in accommodation and meals
A recruitment notice for a role on a Scottish island promotes live-in accommodation and staff meals. It also uses descriptions of peace and scenery to present t
A full-time leisure attendant and lifeguard vacancy at the Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa offers £13.45 an hour, live-in accommodation and staff meals, according to the listing on s1jobs.
The hotel is in Craignure, Mull’s main ferry port, and is operated by Crerar Hotel Group. The successful applicant would help look after guests using the gym, swimming pool and other leisure facilities, with responsibility for their safety and comfort.
The role includes preparing the leisure club for the day and keeping facilities clean and hygienic. The employee could also be asked to assist with swimming lessons, depending on their qualifications.
Applicants must be strong swimmers and pass a swimming test. Previous experience in a similar job is preferred, but the listing says it is not essential and that the successful candidate will be trained before starting. The position also requires flexibility for weekend shifts, punctuality, good communication and a positive attitude.
The advertised package includes a room in a dedicated staff accommodation block and meals. Other benefits listed include staff discounts, training and progression opportunities, and a reward scheme offering awards, vouchers and extra holiday days. The advert also says workers can access wages they have already earned when needed.
The employer says new staff are met when they arrive by ferry and paired with a buddy to help them get to know the area. The vacancy description also flags the realities of rural island living, including limited public transport, small local shops and occasional patchy mobile phone signal.
Mull’s scenery is presented as a benefit of living there. The listing names Tobermory, the island’s main town, and points to its pubs and restaurants, as well as Eas Fors Waterfall and Calgary Beach.
The role is advertised through s1jobs. The advert describes it as suited to someone interested in swimming and hospitality, while making clear that weekend work and a swimming test are part of the requirements.
