Location:

Balmoral Arms is located in the historic tourist village of Ballater in Royal Deeside. The village is just over an hour’s drive away from Aberdeen or 1 ½ hours by bus. It is a friendly village with a great community. There is a supermarket, post office, cafes, restaurants, pubs and a collection of shops. The region is famous for its river and magnificent mountain scenery, and attracts many hikers, mountain bikers, fishers, skiers and tourists. The hotel itself has 46 bedrooms, a bar and a restaurant and has recently been designated by the AA as a 5-star Inn. The hotel has a positive and friendly team.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Kitchen Porter to help our staff and keep everything clean and tidy.

You must be a hard-working team player with a passion for cleaning, and be able to follow set procedures. You’ll need to work without supervision in a fast-paced environment while still keeping up to our high standards, so excellent attention to detail is required. And you’ll need to be flexible about working hours, including weekends.

Typical tasks include sweeping and mopping the floors; putting deliveries into storage; cleaning kitchen items, both using the dishwasher and by hand; helping with weekly deep cleans; and helping the kitchen team to prepare food. You may also be asked to take part in training, where necessary.

Do you bring personality to your work and aim to exceed guests expectations?

Then we want to work with you!

The Balmoral Arms is brimming with character both the building and its team.

Known for its charm, proper Scottish hospitality and lively music scene, the Balmoral Arms is popular with locals and guests. That's why the team pride themselves on providing quality service with a friendly approach, worthy of the inn's AA awarded four star inn accolade.

The homely lounge, with its wooden-beamed ceilings, open fires and Victorian decor, complement the welcoming bar with its homemade, classic dishes and regular folk bands.

Located in the village of Ballater at the heart of Royal Deeside, the Balmoral Arms Inn is at the eastern gateway to the Cairngorms National Park, just 43 miles west of Aberdeen. The area even has the royal seal of approval, with the Queen's summer home of Balmoral Castle down the road.

The location is ideal for outdoors lovers, with seasonal skiing at the nearby Lecht ski centre or Glenshee, and opportunities for hiking and biking the mountains in better weather.

Year round, regardless of whether the roaring fire needs lit, you can be sure a warm welcome awaits.

Can we tempt you to be part of it?

Three reasons to choose a career with Crerar Hotels

Scotland provides a sought-after quality of life, ideal for outdoorsy types. Urbanites may find there are limitations, with reduced public transport, small local shops and occasionally - the ultimate modern hardship - patchy phone signal. But those who take that in their stride find that they discover true peace and quiet, wake up to incredible scenery and have Scotland's natural larder to feast on daily.

We always aim to progress staff internally where possible, which means a number of our team have been with us long-term. They've chosen to make a life in one (or more!) of our locations, building themselves a varied career in the Scottish hospitality industry.

We share the spirit of Scotland through our values. We take pride in providing a truly authentic experience we're warm in personality, curious to get to know our guests and confident in sharing our knowledge. We take what we do seriously, but our humour means we also see the lighter side. Above all, we're comfortable saying, "we are who we are!"
