Assistant Castle Manager

We are looking for an Assistant Castle Manager at the iconic Dunnottar Castle, a world-renowned tourist attraction that has played host to some of the most significant events in Scottish history and holds many secrets to its colourful past.

The Assistant Castle Manager will be involved in all aspects of the day-to-day operation of the site and will provide hands on, visible leadership, to a dedicated team of Custodians who maintain our consistently high standards of service delivery and visitor experience. To apply please submit your curriculum vitae and a cover letter to the Head of Rural Enterprises (Alex Morrison) via email: alex.morrison@dunechtestates.co.uk CLOSING DATE: 31st October 2025
