A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
Nature Scotland is seeking two passionate individuals to fill the roles of assistant reserve manager and boat operator on this stunning Hebridean island. The successful applicants will not only receive a combined salary of approximately £30,000 but also enjoy the incredible perk of rent-free accommodation.
Life on Scotland's Wild Isle
The position offers the chance to become part of a small, tight-knit community on one of Scotland's most spectacular islands. Rùm is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich natural heritage, making it a dream location for nature enthusiasts.
What the Role Entails
- Conservation and land management work
- Boat operation and maintenance
- Engaging with visitors and the local community
- Protecting the island's unique ecosystem
The ideal candidates will possess practical skills, a passion for the outdoors, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. While previous experience in conservation or boat handling is beneficial, enthusiasm and willingness to learn are equally valued.
More Than Just a Job
This isn't merely employment – it's a lifestyle transformation. The couple will have unparalleled access to some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery right on their doorstep, with opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, and immersing themselves in island life.
The application window closes on May 26th, giving prospective candidates limited time to prepare their applications for what many are calling the "ultimate dream job" in one of Britain's most beautiful locations.
