Activity Instructor

Be part of the family...

We’re a family business through and through – family owned, family run, 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 good food drink, great beds and a ton of things to do.

Peebles Hydro Hotel

We’re set right at the heart of the Scottish Borders and offer a great place to relax, unwind and magically shut off from the pressures of modern life. We’ve been welcoming guests for well over 100 years but today is home to 132 bedrooms, 3 places to eat, 6 function spaces, leisure club, spa and oodles of outdoor space.

About the role

You’ll join a team of diverse instructors to promote the thrill and challenge of a wide range of land-based activities - rain, hail or shine. You’ll also lead groups in activities, corporate and leisure and assist with team training and quality assurance.

You’ll be a self- starter, able to think on your feet and remain calm under pressure. As a strong communicator, you’ll quickly build positive working relationships with the team and customers. You’ll show leadership skills, and have an ambition to develop a career in the outdoor activity field. Experience in the following activities is desired but not essential - archery, air rifle shooting, axe throwing and event management.

What we need from you:

• Passion – for helping guests to have fun and make memories.
• Willingness – a desire to learn and work in the outdoors hospitality
• Team focus – there are no egos here, just hard-working people who love creating memorable experiences for every guest
• Ideas and openness – we’re up for doing things differently and will try (almost) everything once
• Fun and easy to talk to – we’re looking for personality, not a corporate clone
• Flexibility – supporting your team to deliver great a great experience.

What you’ll get from us

• The chance to work in a friendly, forward thinking company with investment as a priority.
• Great benefits – including pension, and discounts on leisure membership, food and hotel stays
• Live in accommodation may be available

Peebles Hydro

Another Hydro, but it’s not like Crieff…. Peebles Hydro has 132 bedrooms and like many of her rooms, is firmly focused on the outdoors and making the most of what’s on the doorstep. Kids activities might send them back a little muddy but they’ll love meeting our bees, hens and chickens and can even learn to build a proper woodland den. Hire bikes from us and take in a gentle cycle or race down the trails at Glentress. Opt for a potter along the High Street and getting familiar with locally produced food and drink.

• 132 cool bedrooms to call basecamp
• Decleor and aromatherapy spa
• Pool, gym and sauna for low key days
• Large gin collection, in a greenhouse obviously
• Restaurants, café, lounge and bar to work your way around
• Onsite brewery, bees, ducks and a cherub – just because
• Activities and entertainment every day, rain or shine
• Bike zone for bike hire – go waaahh or ahhh
• Get muddy, then you know you had fun!
