Fair Isle Bird Observatory

Recruitment of staff

The closing date for our recent job adverts has now passed. These are the roles of Head of Ornithology, Hospitality Manager, Assistant Warden and Ranger. We thank all those who have shown interest in these jobs. Details of other seasonal staff (cook, assistant cook and domestic staff) and volunteering opportunities will be made available soon.

We are not yet taking bookings for 2025. When we are ready to do so, Friends of Fair Isle will be the first to be contacted, followed by a general announcement on this website and on our social media.
