Why Scotland's Wild?
A job you'll want to talk about.
We want our team to enjoy the work, keep developing and see the difference they make to our guests' trips.
Experience more of Scotland
Staff tours when space allows, so you get to know the places and experiences we offer.
Keep learning
Training and development are part of the job, whether that's guiding, destination knowledge or another part of the business.
Have real influence
We're a small team. Good ideas don't need to pass through layers of departments before someone listens.
Work with good people
Guides, coordinators, travel experts, content and marketing all work on the same guest journey, with staff socials and events too.
Flexibility where it works
Depending on the role and what the season needs, flexible working patterns can be discussed.
Share it with family
Discounted tours for family members when space allows.
One team
Different roles. One guest experience.
A great tour starts long before the vehicle leaves Edinburgh or Glasgow. Enquiries need answered, routes planned, accommodation and activities organised and vehicles prepared. Then a guide brings Scotland's landscapes and stories to life.
That's why our guides and office team work as one. Everyone shapes what the guest finally experiences.

What matters here
You don't need to know everything. You do need to care.
Knowledge grows with time. Curiosity, judgement, reliability and wanting to give someone a really good experience are harder to teach.
Care about Scotland
Its landscapes, people, stories and history, and the experience visitors have while they're here.
Look after people
Listen properly, communicate clearly and take pride in thoughtful, personal service.
Take initiative
Tourism rarely follows a predictable script. Good judgement and adaptability matter.
Keep learning
There's always another place, story, system or better way of doing something.

Careers FAQ
Before you apply.
Are these the only jobs currently available?
Yes. We're currently advertising two roles: Scotland Tour Guide and Travel Coordinator.

A full UK driving licence with category D1 or D, and you must have held your driving licence for at least three years.

Edinburgh or Glasgow. Guides should be comfortable working both day tours and overnight multi-day tours. If you live near Inverness, get in touch too: we're planning to start tours from there.
Can the Tour Guide position be part-time?
Yes. Full-time and part-time positions are available, and flexible working patterns can be discussed.
