    1 day off in 7, or 2 days off in 14. We can be flexible which days.
    There may occasionally be more hours if requested.
    You could get a secondary job as well providing it doesn't affect this one.

    We need help with interior cleaning rooms and bathrooms to a high standard, making beds and helping with laundry and folding. As well as renovating and maintaining our properties, exterior painting, washing windows, maintenance, gardening, plant watering and handyperson jobs.

    Joinery / landscaping skills would be a real bonus.

    We are looking for a speedy and hard worker please.
    You would need to have insurance.
    You would be self employed and we would be paying you for your services.
    English speaking essential.

    Life on a remote Scottish island, especially in the winter months can be very isolating, peaceful, beautiful, and cold.
    Great if you're wanting some alone time.
    Bring warm clothes (walking boots/fleece/waterproofs/mountain and hiking clothes).
