Work on Tresco
Tresco is more than just a workplace; it’s the setting for your unforgettable island adventure, 28 miles off the Cornish coast in the Isles of Scilly.
Please note: We currently only have double rooms available for seasonal roles and so can only consider applications from couples, or friends willing to share a twin room.
With live-in seasonal and permanent opportunities in hospitality, housekeeping, gardening, spa, operations, and more, working here is your chance to develop your skills while immersing yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Isles of Scilly.
If the breathtaking views and island vibes aren't enough, we offer competitive pay, comfortable accommodation, paid travel to and from the islands, free inter-island boat trips on your days off, discounts across the island and more great benefits. Many positions also offer gratuities and pathways for progression.
Living on Tresco means embracing the island lifestyle — getting out on the water, working amid lush gardens and pristine beaches, and taking a moment to enjoy a breathtaking island sunset. Joining our teams on Tresco and at Hell Bay Hotel on the neighbouring island of Bryher means becoming part of a close-knit community dedicated to creating exceptional guest experiences.
Whether serving island-inspired dishes, caring for beautiful beachfront cottages, or welcoming guests with the warmest smiles, your work here will be meaningful and rewarding. You'll create lasting memories — not just for our guests but for yourself.
