Program Details

You as our guest/volunteer will be an active part of our small holiday let business at the church from dealing with guests to cleaning and small maintenance jobs.
As this will be not every day as we usually work along you and guests will not depart/arrive each day in the usually two units on offer, light garden work from lawnmowing via weeding to some pruning will assure you are not getting bored.

It would be ideal to have someone with a fair bit of knowledge/love for serving and entertaining of tourists to our beloved Scotland and a longing for nature as this is a very peaceful countryside location...whilst still just 5 miles from our council town, Elgin...and well, the strong interest to learn about culture and life in Scotland, we would expect.

Activities & Shift

Activities are usually morning based ending with a fresh prepared lunch shared with or prepared for you by us.

You need to be flexible as the work is governed by the running of the holiday let business & for outside by the scottish weather; as like as we are flexible to adapt to your plans within the 25 hours per week.

There are tasks to suit all abilities. We never ask you to do anything we wouldn't do ourselves and most of the time we collaborate together.

Rules

We prefer non smokers.

Basic food is provided; some meals especially a hot lunch might be prepared for you if you like but usually your accommodation is self-catering.

Privacy is important for us as we give you as well plenty private time to relax & to explore!
We live at first floor of the church and you in the back at ground floor in your very own fully equipped studio.
