Summary
About Glen Nevis Holidays
Glen Nevis Holidays owns and operates the campsite and self-catering holiday park in Glen Nevis. We also own and manage 1,000 acres of floodplain and mountain landscape in one of Scotland’s most iconic glens.
Our small, dedicated estate team works closely to restore nature, manage visitor impact, and deliver unforgettable visitor experiences. A central part of our operation is caring for our herd of 20 Highland cattle, which we use to restore and manage native habitats across the estate.
With hundreds of thousands of visitors coming through the glen every year, we work hard to keep the landscape beautiful — from litter picking to friendly, informative engagement with the public during peak season. We run popular Highland Cow Experiences, giving visitors the chance to meet our cattle and learn about their role in restoration land management.

You will play a key role in caring for our Highland cattle, carrying out ranger checks across the estate, and delivering guided walks to the public.
This role suits someone who enjoys working outdoors in all conditions, has a genuine interest in animals husbandry and nature restoration, and feels confident working with groups of visitors.

Livestock management including daily welfare checks of our Highland cattle

Delivering guided walks and Highland Cow Experiences to groups of up to 30 people
