As a team, we work together to deliver memorable moments for our guests to immerse themselves in the vibrancy of island living, and it’s our strong sense of community and our wider connection to the residents and natural beauty of Islay, that allows us to offer a space where outdoor living and indoor comforts coalesce – where both guests, locals, and team can rest, play, work, gather, and make the most of what matters.
What we’ll offer you in return:
- A relaxed, professional place to work in a beautiful location – Islay ‘the queen’ of the Hebridean archipelago off the West Coast of Scotland
- A welcoming team of like minds, eager to support and encourage each other
- Accommodation (as required, dependent on availability)
- Excellent career prospects in an ever-expanding organisation
- Use of our Championship Links Golf Course (7,000 yards from the back tees, rated one of the world's top 100), regardless of ability
- Special rates for you and your friends & family to stay at Another Place – The Machrie, Another Place – The Lake, SeaSpace, and Watergate Bay Hotels
- Discounts for you and your friends & family to eat at our variety of restaurants (including 18 Restaurant and Bar)
- Team social events throughout the year
- Team assistance scheme – a dedicated helpline for support & advice on topics from mental health through to managing your finances
From
discounted stays to training and development opportunities, we're all about
helping our team achieve their personal and professional goals. With
far-reaching views stretching across the golf links and Laggan Bay, you’ll
never be short on inspiration. Life at Another Place isn't just a job - it's a
