Summary

We are looking for a motivated, personable Ranger to join our team for the 2026 season. This is a varied, hands-on outdoor role combining animal care, visitor engagement, and estate 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.

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.
