TYPES OF JOB
It is important to note that for the winter 2012/13 season we will be recruiting for the CairnGorm Team rather than for individual departments. If, however, you have a preference, please mention this when applying.
Catering
Year-round positions available for Catering and Kitchen Assistants, full and part-time. The emphasis is on flexibility and fun! Bar and food service positions. Catering experience preferred.
Customer Services
Year-round, this team makes sure our customers and staff are kept up to date with all the latest information regarding conditions on the mountain. They also meet and greet our customers, sell tickets, provide an information service and operate the Funicular Railway service. Good people skills combined with some IT experience would be helpful.
Equipment Hire
In winter we operate a busy hire department and repair workshop. Experienced hire technicians are always welcome. If you have workshop experience, so much the better.

During our snowsports season we need folk who don't mind being out in all weathers to operate our lifts and tows. Fit and customer focused? This might be the type of work for you.
Accommodation
CairnGorm Mountain does not offer any staff accommodation. People generally find somewhere to stay in Aviemore or one of the surrounding villages. We can supply you with a list of useful information if you e-mail us. We also have an arrangement with the Aviemore Highland Resort to utilise rooms in their staff accommodation. If this might be of interest to you, just ask.
Uniform
All staff are supplied with uniform to suit the requirements of their particular job.

All winter seasonal employees receive a staff pass which can be used to access uplift facilities at CairnGorm and at other ski areas in Scotland.
Discounts are offered in our shops and restaurants as well as in many outlets in Aviemore.
You can enjoy free soup and a bread roll at lunchtime.
