- A proactive, can-do attitude and willingness to adapt
- Strong work ethic, timekeeping, and team spirit
- Passion for honest, well-executed food
Hours & Flexibility:
- 40-hour contract over 5 days per week – flexibility is essential, especially during peak seasons
- Weekend and evening availability is expected
Accommodation:
- Live-in accommodation available in subsidised staff housing (subject to availability)
Important to Know:
- Due to our remote location, live-out applicants must have a car and valid UK driving licence

Why Work with Us?
- Cook in one of the UK’s most iconic island settings
- Be part of a small, passionate team that supports each other
- Competitive salary, monthly gratuities, and excellent food while on shift
- Staff discounts and wellbeing support
