    Description

    We are a vibrant Scottish café situated in the foothills of the Cuillin mountain range, overlooking Loch Harport on the stunning Isle of Skye! We are 5 minutes away from our local village, Carbost, 10 minutes from the fairy pools and 25 minutes from the largest town on Skye, Portree.

    The café uses Scottish ingredients to provide a unique take on brunch and lunch! We've recently been featured in Hidden Scotland and Scottish Field magazine as a top foodie destination in Scotland!

    We are looking to expand our team this season and invite applications for a kitchen/cooking role. We would love to hear from anyone available from March - November who is passionate about great food/local produce, speciality coffee and enjoys working as part of a fun team. We ask that you have previous professional kitchen experience and feel comfortable dealing with multiple food orders at once.

    We have a really friendly culture at the café - you will enjoy working here and mixing with the locals!
    We have healthy working hours (generally 9am - 5pm) and the café is shut two days a week (Monday and Tuesday). This means you have evenings free as well as two full days off a week in which to explore and enjoy Skye!


    PLEASE NOTE - We can only accept applicants that already have a UK working visa, please do not contact us if you do not have one. Thank you :)
