Detailed Description From Employer:

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.

Crieff Hydro Hotel In the heart of Scotland, we’re set in a 900 acre estate in stunning Perthshire. A home from home, 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 center, horse-riding center 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. We also have a 900-acre estate to explore, so the possibilities are endless! 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. With different children arriving on an almost daily basis, you can be confident no two days will ever be the same. This position is a zero-hour, flexible contract to fit around business and individual needs.

What We Need From You If you have a formal qualification in Childcare, we really want to hear from you. If not, you’ll need to show us you’re interested in a career in childcare. You’ll have loads of enthusiasm to ensure the children you’re working with have a fun experience. No matter the age of our customers, great service is at the heart of our business. So, your friendly, welcoming personality is a given. We need a confident communicator, who is able to interact and build rapport with children.
