About Crieff Hydro
We’re a family business through and through – family owned since 1868, family run and 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 fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.
Crieff Hydro Hotel is in the heart of Scotland, set in a 900 acre estate in Perthshire. We’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, 6 restaurants and over 60 onsite activities – including a spa, leisure centre, horse-riding centre and our famously exciting Action Glen. There really is something for everyone!
About The Role
Our unique childcare facility, Big Country, is packed with every activity you can think of. The successful applicant will lead children in indoor and outdoor activities, from Clan Castle to outdoor sport. Our emphasis is on play, and ensuring children have fun – after all, this is a holiday destination. We’re registered to take up to 140 children between the ages of 0-12 at each of our 3-daily sessions. We have a separate games area for the teenagers and daily entertainment on offer for all the family. With all of this, we can promise you a fast-paced and dynamic experience.
This position is available on a flexible, zero-hour contract with shifts available dependent on individual needs. Please note that staff accommodation is not available for this role.
