Childcare Practitioner in Crieff

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.

Our unique childcare facility, Big Country, is packed with every activity you can think of. We also have a 900-acre estate to explore, so the possibilities are endless! The successful applicant will lead children in indoor and outdoor activities, from Clan Castle to outdoor sport. Our emphasis is on play, and ensuring children have fun – after all, this is a holiday destination.

We’re registered to take up to 140 children between the ages of 2 -12 at each of our 3-daily sessions. We also offer daily entertainment for all the family. With all of this, we can promise you a fast-paced and dynamic experience. With different children arriving on an almost daily basis, you can be confident no two days will ever be the same.

This position is available on a flexible, zero-hour contract with shifts available dependent on individual needs. Please note that staff accommodation is not available for this role.
