The Kilchoan Estate is a cultural and educational enterprise in rewilding, preservation & sustainability. Across 1500 acres we are restoring habitats, creating gardens and caring for landscapes & livestock. Situated 20 miles South of Oban, on the north shores of Loch Melfort, the estate rises from sea-level to 270m encompassing a range of distinct habitats including grasslands, peatlands, semi-natural ancient woodland, newly planted native woodland & exotic forestry plantations. We run several marine projects including a native oyster restoration project and a kelp farm. We collaborate with many organisations, universities and NGOs to help achieve the organisations vision.

We are looking for enthusiastic applicants to join our team and assist with the development of the estate, gardens and grounds with a focus on the integration of livestock into a conservation grazing rotation.

The role will be varied, encompassing a range of tasks. As part of the estate team this is a practical role that will also assist the garden & building teams. The ideal candidate must be capable of following instruction and using their own initiative and expertise, be physically fit and happy to work in all-weather conditions.
