Two couples are being sought to fill four staff positions at a café and bunkhouse on the tiny Scottish island of Kerrera, with accommodation and meals provided alongside minimum wage pay. The roles, listed on Workaway, run during the holiday season and include five working days per week, with shifts starting at 10am and finishing at 4pm, plus two days off.
Work and Perks on Kerrera
Successful applicants will stay in one of the on-site cabins and have access to a new staff toilet and shower block. The owners provide food, including family meals two nights a week, as well as a small alcohol allowance for the team.
Duties involve working in the café, helping with childcare, and carrying out tasks such as gardening, general maintenance, or cleaning. According to the listing, workers will "learn good basic kitchen skills and customer service skills."
Requirements and Setting
The listing asks for applicants with "enthusiasm and good humour" who are "energetic and motivated," but previous experience is not required. The venue sits about 10 minutes on foot from the island's coastline and the ruins of Gylen Castle, and is a 45-minute walk from the ferry on the south of the island.
Kerrera, in the Inner Hebrides, is reached from Oban by a five-minute ferry ride. The island is home to Hutcheson's Monument, a granite obelisk erected in 1883, and is known for its rock formations and sea views. The listing describes the operation as "a small outdoor cafe and bunkhouse open from Easter to September each year" in a location that attracts walkers. Further details are available on the Workaway website.
