Be part of the Family

We're a family business through and through - family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.



We offer an expansive range of benefits to help you make the most of life outside of work, and we're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued.



We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you're someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you'll fit right in.

The Kingshouse Hotel

The Kingshouse Hotel is part landmark hotel, part adventurer's bunkhouse - slap-bang in Glencoe and on Scotland's world-famous West Highland Way. We have 57 bedrooms offering a great night's sleep plus the bunkhouse offering shared rooms, a restaurant and two bars. Everyone is welcome and everyone will feel at home.



Our estate-to-plate ethos runs through all our restaurant and bar menus. Inspired by our location and Scotland's abundant land and sea larder we use the best of ingredients to guarantee our guests an exceptional experience, brimming with Scottish hospitality and flavour.

About the role

You'll be part of our busy team of Porters - responsible for maintaining security, cleanliness and customer satisfaction during the night shift. You'll deliver exceptional customer service to all our guests. From carrying guests' luggage to supporting with conference set up for the next day or clearing snow, no night shift will be the same.



Your friendly and engaging personality will immediately reassure our guests that they're in safe hands. You'll make lasting impressions, taking every possible opportunity to talk to our guests, share our story and enhance their experience.



As you'll drive our guests and team on and off the Estate, you'll be over 21 with a clean driver's licence. There will also be the opportunity to do some day shifts.
