Four jobs on the picturesque isle are available.
A number of job opportunities on an "incredible" Scottish island have come up. The positions come with live-in accommodation.
At the moment, the Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa is looking to fill a number of roles. The hotel is situated in the island's village and main ferry port of Craignure.
The hotel and spa is currently hiring a Food and Beverage Manager, a Leisure Attendant, a Room Attendant, and a Spa Therapist. All four positions are full-time, and involve around 40 hours of work per week.
The main benefit of the jobs is that they all come with live-in accommodation in a dedicated block, as well as staff meals. Other benefits include staff discounts, career development opportunities, vouchers, and extra holiday days.
The Food and Beverage Manager position pays a "competitive" salary of up to £33,000 per year. The successful applicant will also receive an "extensive benefits package".
Main responsibilities will include managing day-to-day operations of the hotel's restaurant, ensuring high standards of service, and addressing guest complaints. Other tasks will include overseeing staff training, managing invoicing, and compiling weekly and period-end sales reports.
Meanwhile, the Room Attendant job pays a salary of £12.60 per hour. As well as a benefit package, the successful applicant will receive a service charge of up to £2,000 per year.
The main tasks of the Room Attendant include preparing guest bedrooms and bathrooms, assisting with laundry and linen, and refilling guest supplies. Additionally, the worker will clean corridor areas and complete any other duties requested by the Head Housekeeper.
The Leisure Attendant will be based in the hotel's gym and swimming pool. Like the Room Attendant position, it pays an hourly wage of £12.60 and a service charge of up to £2,000 per year.
The successful applicant will be responsible for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of guests in the gym, pool, and leisure areas. Tasks will include preparing the leisure club every morning, making sure all procedures are followed, and assisting with swimming lessons and acting as a lifeguard.
Finally, the Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa is looking for a Spa Therapist for its spa. The job will involve providing expert spa therapies such as nail and waxing treatments and making sure every guest leaves feeling rejuvenated.
When not working, the Isle of Mull has a huge variety of things to see and do. Described by VisitScotland as "incredible", the island is home to spectacular beaches, historic attractions, and plenty of opportunity for scenic walks.
The main settlement on Mull is Tobermory, which is famous for its colourful seafront houses. The town also features a variety of cafés, restaurants, and pubs, as well as the Tobermory Distillery.
The job listing states: "The Isle of Mull is the second largest island in the Inner Hebrides, on Scotland's west coast. What does that mean? Red deer, white tailed eagles and native otters; stunning sunrises across the water; a sense of space, peace and a quiet life. There's a really strong community amongst islanders, too.
It also means 35 minutes' drive to the supermarket; 45 minutes on a ferry to the nearest cinema; a bus every two hours. The nearest airport is Glasgow, half a day's travel away.
"These are the realities of life at the Isle of Mull Hotel Spa, where life takes on a slower pace in winter but is full on in summer. For our staff, these are all reasons why Mull has become home. The other draw is the welcoming environment they find living and working at our hotel."
