Job description

Be part of the Family

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.

We offer an expansive range of benefits to help you make the most of life outside of work, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued.

We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you’re someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you’ll fit right in.

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!

We’re not sure who loves Big Country, our children’s club, more – the parents or the children! The club offers two, free fun-filled sessions to our littlest guests every day, and we welcome children from ages 2 to 12 seven days a week, all year round.

About the role

Not only is Big Country, our incredible child care facility, packed with every activity you can think of, we also have a 900-acre estate to explore, so the possibilities are endless!

You’ll lead children in indoor and outdoor activities, from Clan Castle to outdoor sport. The emphasis here is on play, and making sure 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 we have daily entertainment on offer for all the family.

With all this, we can certainly promise you a fast paced and dynamic experience, and with different children arriving on an almost daily basis, you can be confident no two days will ever be the same.

This is a full-time, permanent position contracted 40 hours per week, working 5 days from 7.

What we need from you

• A formal qualification in Childcare – with a knack for making little people smile
• Good Listener – we don’t make assumptions; we listen to what our children and parents have to say – the good and the bad
• Ideas and openness – we’re up for doing things differently and will try (almost) everything once
• Fun and easy to talk to – we’re a fun, friendly and close knit team
• Flexibility – there’s no problem you can’t fix

What you’ll get from us

• Live-in Accommodation – On-site, affordable housing with bills included may be available. Most rooms are single occupancy with an ensuite, though this isn’t guaranteed. Availability and rates (set by HMRC) can be discussed at interview.
• Free Meals on Shift– Stay fuelled and focused with delicious staff meals while you work.
• Exclusive Discounts– Enjoy 30% off food, drinks and retail, discounted leisure membership and reduced rates on hotel activities.
• Team Rate Hotel Stays– Take time to recharge with discounted stays at all of our hotels from just £30 per night
• Refer a Friend Bonus– Earn up to £250-£500 for each successful team member or manager which you recommend to us.
• Guest Mention Rewards– Earn £5 every time a guest gives you a positive shoutout in a review.
• A Friendly & Supportive Team– Work in a fun, welcoming environment where team spirit and well-being are a priority.
• Career Progression– With seven hotels, multiple departments, and a wide range of roles, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow and explore new career paths.
• Wellbeing Support– Get 24/7 confidential support via the Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme, covering mental health, finances, and more.
• Team Events & Annual Staff Party– We love to celebrate our people! Enjoy team events throughout the year and a legendary annual staff party.
