Jobs

Your role of Roving Steward in Historic Environment Scotland’s Central Mid District is a part year permanent position working an average of 4 days a week (28 hours per week April – September and 0 hours for the rest of the year).

There is no typical day for the Roving Team, however you will work an average of 7 hours a day. Following the transition from a 37 to a 35 hour week, our properties have a number of different working patterns, with, for example, the team at Huntingtower, Elcho and St Serfs working 9:30am-5pm with a 30 minute unpaid break and Inchmahome and Lochleven working 9:15am-5pm with a 45 minute break. There is some degree of flexibility, as long as the Monument Manager of the property you are working at is content our opening hours can be delivered and our processes completed during the timeframe you have committed to.

You will be responsible for delivering the highest standards of visitor experience across sites in the Central Mid District. Reasonable agreed travelling is expected to cover sites within Stirling district, Clackmannanshire, Perth and Kinross, and potentially further afield. A pool car may be available for this purpose.

Are you looking for a flexible, fun and unique role? You’ll get an exceptional view into Scotland’s rich history and gain valuable experience in the tourism industry, helping to bring Scotland’s dramatic history to life for our visitors from across the world. Explore the fascinating stories from Scotland’s past and share your passion with international and local visitors who come to sites within Central Scotland during the season.

The post sits within the Mid District of the Central Region’s Visitor and Community (V&C) Team. The district is comprised of twenty-six properties, of which ten are staffed, including Doune Castle, Dunblane Cathedral, Castle Campbell, Elcho Castle, Huntingtower Castle, Inchmahome Priory, Lochleven Castle, Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum, Stanley Mills and St Serf’s Church. You will be part of a team of stewards working across these properties and potentially others within the neighbouring East District (i.e. you will principally cover sites in Stirling District, Perth & Kinross, Clackmannanshire, and may be asked to cover Fife and potentially, but not usually, Angus).
