Inverness is a wonderful place to live and work, and an ideal place to raise a family, with local schooling of very high standards. The city has excellent shops, restaurants and Eden Court Theatre has a varied and exciting programme of cultural activities. Inverness is well connected by road, rail and air to major UK and European cities. Many of the team live in rural areas that offer rare, and much sought after, benefits for work-life balance.
