Dunnottar Castle
Dunnottar Castle is a world-renowned tourist attraction that has played host to some of the most significant events in Scottish history and holds many secrets to its colourful past. Once an impregnable fortress, the Castle is now largely a ruin and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, yet its location some 150ft above a rocky outcrop in the North Sea still provides a powerful, haunting, and dramatic backdrop to over 120,000 visitors we welcome each year. The Castle is privately owned by Dunecht Estates and is operated year-round as a premier visitor attraction by a small but dedicated team of Custodians. The Castle team operate from Dunnottar Lodge which overlooks the Castle, adjacent to the visitor car park, coach park and catering franchise. The location of the Castle is both breathtaking but demanding, particularly in the winter.

As Senior Assistant Custodian, you will be based at Dunnottar Castle Lodge, Stonehaven, and will report to the Castle Manager and Assistant Castle Manager. You will assist the Managers in key aspects of the day-to-day operation of the site and work alongside other Assistant Custodians. This is a hands-on supervisory role where you will play an important part in the day-today operation of the Castle and take an active part in completing and supervising a range of key tasks.
