  • Full time or Part time
  • £27,991
  • On site: Isle of Coll
  • Closing 9th September 2026

An Cridhe and the Coll Bunkhouse are two community-owned enterprises that work in conjunction with each other to provide amenities to islanders and visitors.

An Cridhe is a busy community centre in the village of Arinagour, Isle of Coll. It has a wide range of uses such as being the local gym, hosting wedding receptions to providing a space for the community to congregate. The Coll Bunkhouse is a 5-star Scottish Tourist Board hostel currently providing accommodation for up to 15 people. The two are situated on the same site. Also included on the site are 4 motorhome hook-up pitches and an e-bike rental service.

The Isle of Coll experiences an active and lively summer season with spring and autumn providing a more steady but reliable flow of visitors. The winter season is relatively quiet in comparison; however, both enterprises keep their doors open all year round.
