Be part of the family...
We’re a family business through and through – family owned, family run, with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small but all offer good food & drink, great beds and a ton of things to do.
Crieff Hydro Hotel
Pretty much in the centre of Scotland, we’re set in a 900acre estate in stunning Perthshire. Home from home, we’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, six restaurants and over 60 onsite activities– there really is something for everyone!
About the role
No two days are the same at Crieff Hydro. From an intimate private dinner for five, to a fairytale wedding for 50, or a three-day corporate conference for 500 – and everything in between – you’ll be right at the heart of delivering events on every scale.
You’ll be working closely with the senior food and beverage management team, supporting the planning and smooth delivery of weddings, banquets, conferences, and private functions.

This role is full time (45 hours per week), with the option of live-in accommodation (single occupancy with ensuite, subject to availability). Live-in team members also enjoy access to our staff canteen with three free meals per day.
