Escape the ordinary and spend your time surrounded by white-sand beaches, great friends, and rewarding work, 28 miles off the Cornish coast in the Isles of Scilly.

With live-in roles across hospitality, housekeeping, gardening, spa, and operations, you’ll build new skills while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Isles of Scilly.

Life here means embracing true island living - days off spent in, on, or by the water; work amid lush subtropical gardens and beside white-sand beaches; and evenings watching sunsets that stop you in your tracks.

Whether you’re welcoming guests, caring for cottages, or creating unforgettable experiences, you’ll leave with memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

We have roles across all our departments and double or twin rooms available. Share our opportunities with your partner or best friend, and let them join your island adventure.
