Full Job Description

  • We're seeking motivated and enthusiastic Kitchen Assistants to join our team.

  • Full-time, part-time and casual contracts are available.

  • Our Kitchen Assistants are an integral part of the culinary team, helping our chefs to deliver fabulous food.

  • You'll work across our two kitchens as required, one in the castle and the other in the clubhouse.

  • You'll play a key role in the smooth running of the department, supporting our chefs by keeping the kitchen spotlessly clean, operating the dishwasher, storing food deliveries, as well as assisting with vegetable preparation and staff catering.

  • Additionally, you maintain CookSafe records, secure the kitchen at the end of your shift, and also support your colleagues in Food & Beverage by assisting them in maintaining the staff dining area.

    You're dependable and flexible with a strong work ethic, and take pride in a meticulously maintained workspace.

  • While you're able to work unsupervised, you're also a committed team player who takes satisfaction in contributing to the overall success of the department.

  • Experience working in a kitchen environment is preferred but not essential, as full training can be given.

  • A full, clean driving license is essential.

  • Ideally you will be 18 years or over.

    The chefs at Skibo are passionate about food, and it's visible on every plate that leaves Skibo's kitchens. Executive Chef Craig Rowland oversees a friendly team of talented and committed individuals who find joy in working together to create fresh, innovative, and delicious dishes for the Club's members and guests.

  • We are constantly working to go above and beyond expectations with the food we prepare: we bake our own bread, cure our own salmon, and even tap the estate's birch trees for syrup. Our seasonal menus are ingredient-led and utilise the incredible range of home-grown produce available from the club's own gardens as well as fish, shellfish and game sourced right here on our doorstep.

  • Work/life balance is key, so the Kitchen department offers flexible work schedules with no split shifts, leaving you with plenty of time off to get out and enjoy the Highlands!

  • Work in the Skibo kitchens is vibrant, dynamic, and ever-changing. The team enjoys the day-to-day variety that comes with working across three separate locations, each with its own character, formality, and culinary style: the castle, the Clubhouse, and the Treehouse at Overskibo.

  • The castle is the site of the elevated, fine dining experiences that we offer at Skibo. Its kitchen is a large, airy space with state-of-the-art equipment and flooded with natural daylight.

  • The Clubhouse offers a more laid-back atmosphere and Brasserie-style dishes, boasting an award-winning, contemporary, open-plan kitchen. Here, we showcase our home-grown produce served from the ice bar alongside fresh seafood caught by local fishermen on the morning tide, split- and wood-roasted.

  • Finally, spring 2024 saw the launch of the Treehouse at Overskibo. The site is surrounded by woodland and dedicated to al fresco dining, its kitchen soon to be outfitted with a barbeque and a log burning oven for roasting foraged food and freshly caught fish from the adjacent loch.

    "Our kitchens are an incredibly vibrant place to work, where we rotate between putting together formal, six-course menus at the castle to working out on the moor, cooking trout that someone has just caught in the loch over an open flame."

    Craig Rowland, Executive Chef
