Glenbrittle Campsite Wardens (23 March – 15 October)

Ranked as the top UK Campsite by the Daily Telegraph and awarded the 'Gold Campsite of the Year 2019' by Great Outdoors Magazine, we seek committed, enthusiastic, and diligent seasonal Campsite Wardens who take pride in their work and possess a diverse skill set for this season.

The role involves assisting the Campsite Wardens in ensuring the smooth operation of all activities at the Glenbrittle Campsite & Cafe, including tent/hook-up pitch sales, site cleanliness and maintenance, security, and retail.

Open the shop and campsite each duty day as directed by the Warden, maintaining a 24-hour security presence and welcoming campers. Provide campers and visitors with information about the site, surrounding area, and detailed, up-to-date weather reports for climbers.
