About Us:

The Cairngorms National Park is an incredible place to live and work. The UK’s largest national park is a place of sheer abundance, having more high mountain ground than anywhere else in the UK, the largest Caledonian forest, some of Scotland’s purest rivers and finest livestock rearing farmland. It is also home to 25 percent of the UK’s rare and endangered species. It is a truly unique place to work, with the land being owned and managed by private, public and third sector organisations with differing approaches and objectives, whilst also being enjoyed by many residents and visitors, there’s real variety in the work of the Visitor Services team, of which this post will be a part. Furthermore, there is access to some of the most beautiful countryside straight from our Headquarters office door.
