More:

We are Inveraray Castle and Gardens, one of Scotlands most recognisable historic visitor destinations, set on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll. Our Castle has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll and Clan Campbell since the 18th century and remains both a private family home and a nationally recognised visitor attraction. The wider Estate includes heritage, internationally important collections, architecture, landscape and gardens, tourism, events, filming, accommodation, food and beverage, retail, archives and wider Estate life. The role is based at Inveraray Castle, with hybrid working considered for an exceptional candidate. We may be able to offer estate accommodation, and we welcome local and relocating applicants. This is an opportunity to help shape how we present ourselves digitally to visitors, partners and wider audiences, with a choice of permanent, fixed-term or consultancy arrangements depending on the successful candidate.
