Melfort Village is a 4-star self-catering holiday resort in a beautiful Lochside setting near Oban on Scotland's west coast. We pride ourselves on our warm welcome and peaceful environment - and our well-maintained grounds play a big part in creating that special setting for our guests.
About the Role
We are on the lookout for someone to join our friendly team and take pride in helping keep our grounds and resort looking their best. This role is ideal for a hardworking individual who enjoys outdoor work and being hands-on. Whether you're just starting out or looking for something more permanent after seasonal work - we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing

Strimming and leaf blowing
Hedge trimming and weed spraying
Tidy-up of borders, tubs, and paths
General property tasks (gutter clearing, basic painting prep, odd jobs)
Occasional help with equipment distribution and laundry delivery
This is a
mostly non-customer-facing
role and involves physical outdoor work in all seasons.
What We're Looking For
Someone who enjoys working outdoors and doesn't mind getting stuck in
Reliable, motivated, and happy to work independently or as part of a small team
Some experience in groundskeeping or maintenance is helpful but not essential - we'll provide training
Ideal for someone currently in seasonal employment who's looking for year-round work
What We Offer
A friendly and supportive team
On-the-job training
Year-round employment potential after initial 6-month contract
Free use of onsite leisure and gym facilities
