“Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” so the saying goes, and we love to match people with jobs perfect for them. We work with local schools and communities to inspire e and educate about all the opportunities within the hospitality industry. If you fancy getting to know more about any of our hotel jobs, just drop us a note.
Apprenticeships
We’re part of The Apprenticeship in Hospitality, Scotland – a network of 14 hotel partners such as Gleneagles, The Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh and The Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle – who offer apprenticeships to develop and inspire the next generation of talent to venture into the Scottish hospitality industry.
We offer a two-year apprenticeship programme for anyone aged 17 - 24 thinking about a career in hospitality. The two years are divided into four blocks of 6 months split between working in Food and Beverage, Housekeeping, Front Office and Kitchen and provides opportunities to network and take part in masterclass sessions. This is a great opportunity not only to expand your skill set and gain experience of what other teams do but it will help carve out your hospitality specialism moving forward.
Apprenticeships begin in October each year and we start recruiting in April. Graduates will leave with an accredited Level 2 Hospitality Services qualification. Some then choose to stay on for a 3rd year with further personalised development and others move into their first job.
Work Experience
We work with the charity Springboard UK to provide good quality work experience placements which help young people develop skills and show off the benefits of working in the hospitality industry.
We partner with a number of local schools in Crieff to offer work placements. We’re also open to partnering with other local schools near our hotels in Peebles and Glencoe too. We’re happy to consider requests for work experience from individuals interested in finding out more about our hotels generally or particular careers such as childcare, event management, beauty therapy or becoming a chef. Just get in touch to find out more.
Scholarships
From time to time we also fund specialist scholarships. If you’re interested in finding out more, just get in touch.
Developing the Young Workforce
We’re active partners of the Government’s Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) – a seven-year programme preparing children and young people aged 3–18 for the world of work.
We’re currently helping to build better partnerships between hospitality employers and education providers by helping Crieff High School’s students plan a campus takeover. We’re supporting them with job descriptions, CVs and interview techniques. We’ve also provided work shadowing opportunities for students AND teachers and we’re opening up the hotel to the students to plan and run a fundraising dinner.
