Seasonal Tour Guide (Glengoyne) (Various hours available) in Balfron

Do you have a passion for whisky and a dedication to providing exceptional visitor experience? We are looking for friendly and charismatic individuals with a positive work attitude, who can use their own initiative and focus on providing exceptional visitor experiences as part of our warm and welcoming team. Our experience offering is varied and our visitors come from all over the world to learn about Glengoyne whisky, so the ability to adapt and build rapport with different groups and communicate effectively is essential (multi-lingual skills would be highly desirable, although not essential!).

The role of Seasonal Tour Guide is responsible for the delivery of tours, tastings, and other visitor focused activities at our Distillery. The visitor centre typically operates between 10:00 - 18:00, seven days per week, however, this is dependent on the needs of the business and hours may vary in line with consumer demand. We are therefore looking for individuals who can be flexible in their availability.

Glengoyne is located North of Glasgow on the A81 at Dumgoyne, and it is anticipated that applicants should be within commuting distance of the distillery and ideally with their own transport given the remote location. In addition, given the industry and product we service, to be considered for a role, applicants must be aged 18 or over. Candidates must also be able to demonstrate that they currently have the required documents to live and work in the UK.

This is a temporary job opportunity with a competitive hourly rate. In addition, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a generous holiday allowance, pension contributions and product discount to name but a few. We are seeking candidates who can demonstrate flexibility, as this role offers a mix of full-time and part-time hours on fixed-term contracts running either from March to October 2026 or March to November 2026. Our roles are offered on an annualised hours contract, meaning you will receive a guaranteed monthly income.

We anticipate interviews will take place on 9th or 10th February 2026. For successful candidates, a comprehensive two-week induction is scheduled for the weeks commencing 16th and 23rd March, running Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to 17:00.

If this sounds like the perfect role for you, then we’d love to hear from you!

Please note, that along with your CV, you will need to answer some key questions and submit a tailored cover letter, clearly outlining why your skills and previous experiences are a perfect fit to what we are looking for – remember this is your opportunity to make yourself stand out from the crowd! Please note, this is an open application window therefore we may close the advert at any point depending on the candidate applications received so our recommendation is that you apply early to ensure you don’t miss out!
