Be part of the family...
We’re a family business through and through – family owned since 1868, family run and with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small, but all offer fantastic food and drink, cozy beds and a wealth of things to do.
Crieff Hydro Hotel
In the heart of Scotland, we’re set in a 900 acre estate in stunning Perthshire. A home from home, we’ve been welcoming generations of families for 150 years. We have 215 hotel bedrooms, 55 self-catering lodges, 6 restaurants and over 60 onsite activities – including a spa, leisure center, horse-riding center and our famously exciting Action Glen. There really is something for everyone!
About The Role
Our Restaurants offer a variety of foods. Working with local suppliers, we’re committed to consistency of production using locally sourced products. If you’re excited about driving change, have a flair for all things Food, and want to be part of a great team, looking to make your mark, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
We’re recruiting multiple team members to join us in either our Terrace or Meikle restaurants. These are full-time roles (45 hours per week), and live-in accommodation is available on site, with all bills included.
The Terrace Restaurant is open for dinner and occasional daytime events, serving up all the classic favourites you’d expect in a relaxed, family-friendly setting - from wood-fired pizzas to juicy steaks.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
