UPDATE MARCH 2024
WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONE CURRENTLY.
Our Project:
Small island. Big project!!
We are building a small retreat on the Isle of Jura off the west coast of Scotland and we have holiday lets on the Isle of Islay next door.
There's plenty to be done on both islands so you get two Hebridean islands for the price of one!!!
We need people who are independent and proactive.
The big plan is to build a retreat around mental wellness, specifically cold water immersion (Wim Hof Method), breathwork, wild swimming, meditation, yoga, foraging, fermentation etc.... If you're into cold water, breathwork, wild swimming etc.. then even better but no worries if you'd rather just work and retire to a cosy bed and book! We are in development here and the site is still a building site. We have 2 large whisky barrels we use for ice baths, and plenty of lochs to dive into but alas our actual retreat space is a long way off! That's why we need help!
Guarantee offer minimum wage for anyone working for us. Hours will not exceed 40 a week (with two full days off) and the wage will be paid for every hour worked and for all of the tasks requested in the profile. You must have a visa to work in the UK.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

The island of Jura is due west of Glasgow, whilst quite a large island there are only 200 people, one road, one shop, one distillery, one pub, one school, 6000 red deer! It is very wild and was described by George Orwell who wrote 1984 here as being 'a most un-get-atable place'. And for that reason we love it.
Unlike neighbouring Islay next door which now boasts 9 (and counting) whisky distilleries and is buzzing with tourists, Jura is like stepping back in time, the children roam free and it's idyllic. That said it is also not for the feinthearted, in winter we are often cut off, power goes down, internet speeds can crawl, the storms are huge, but we have a pub, a village hall, musicians and a great sense of community & fun.
Jura has the 3 Paps (3 huge hills), an uninhabited wild west coast, remote bothies to explore and stay in, we have wild swimming group every Sunday, fell running , loads of hikes, waterfalls and wild experiences. There is an amazing community here and the music, craic and social life is second to none. We are involved with the organic community garden, a singing group and SUP and kayaking in the summer.
There are lots of gatherings, beach parties, ceilidhs, festivals and parties, the winter months are full of pool competitions, quiz nights, village hall entertainment. We have a cinema that visits on a lorry 4 times a year. It’s almost impossible to get accommodation on the island unless you work for an estate, so we hope to give someone the opportunity of experiencing island life whilst helping us create something unique here.Projetos que envolvem crianças

Acomodação
We have a choice of accommodation for you to stay in, caravans or an off grid tiny house on site on Jura. There is also a large agricultural shed . If the cottages are not let out on Islay you can stay and explore on Islay too. Vanlifers can park up on either island and access toilets / electricity.
Algo mais...
Jura is the island next door to Islay. On Islay we have two holiday lets that need maintaining and cleaning regularly so there is plenty of opportunity to go to a bigger island every week. There are more things to do on Islay with a hospital, shops, swimming pool etc... it's only 4 minutes on the ferry so you have the best of both worlds.
Whilst we love having communal meals frequently with our Workaways, we provide cooking facilities and any workers need to be self reliant.Mais alguns detalhes
