Job at SSE in Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross

Explore a Rewarding Role at the Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre

Are you seeking a dynamic role that combines excellent customer service with a stunning natural setting? The Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre, managed by SSE, presents a unique opportunity for passionate individuals to join their dedicated team. This seasonal, part-time Café Assistant position offers a chance to contribute to a world-class visitor experience at a location renowned for its breathtaking views of Loch Faskally and the River Tummel.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

  • Scenic Work Environment: Imagine your workspace overlooking the picturesque Pitlochry Dam and the tranquil River Tummel. This role offers a daily dose of natural beauty, transforming your commute into an inspiring start to your day.
  • Contribution to a Thriving Hub: The Visitor Centre is a popular destination, attracting over 100,000 visitors annually. You'll be an integral part of a busy café, serving delicious local produce and contributing to the positive experiences of countless guests.
  • Valuable Skill Development: While previous catering experience is advantageous, SSE provides training, including for PC-based till operation and potentially barista skills. This is an excellent chance to enhance your skillset in a fast-paced, customer-facing role.
  • Flexible Working Options: The role is advertised as part-time and fixed-term, with flexible options available, catering to a variety of personal circumstances and allowing for a better work-life balance.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Beyond the competitive hourly rate of approximately £12.75 (based on a £24,580 FTE salary), SSE offers a generous range of benefits designed to support your financial wellbeing and family. This includes discounts on healthcare and gym memberships, access to a free online GP and counselling services, interest-free loans for technology and season tickets, and robust family entitlements.
  • Commitment to Sustainability: Working for SSE means being part of an organisation with a clear vision for a net-zero future. You'll be contributing to a company actively investing in renewable energy and committed to sustainable development goals, aligning your work with a meaningful purpose.
  • Inclusive Workplace Culture: SSE is dedicated to fostering an open, inclusive, and equal opportunities environment. They actively welcome applications from individuals from all backgrounds, ensuring a supportive and thriving workplace for everyone.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Seasonal Nature: This is a fixed-term, seasonal contract. While it offers flexibility, candidates should consider how this aligns with their long-term career aspirations. It can be an excellent stepping stone for gaining experience in the hospitality and visitor services sector.
  • Weekend Work: The role involves working weekends, which is common in the hospitality industry. If you thrive in a weekend environment and enjoy customer interaction, this will be a significant advantage.
  • Customer-Centric Focus: The core of this role is providing exceptional customer care. If you are naturally approachable, cheerful, and enjoy interacting with a diverse range of people, you will excel here.
  • Adaptability and Teamwork: The fast-paced environment of a busy visitor centre requires adaptability, organisation, and strong teamwork. The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team will be crucial.
  • Health and Safety Awareness: Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and adhering to Health & Safety and Food regulations are essential. A commitment to these standards will be key to success in this role.

This role at the Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre offers a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills in a beautiful and dynamic environment. If you are a customer-focused individual with a passion for providing excellent service and are looking for a rewarding seasonal position, this could be the perfect fit for your career journey.
