We are currently recruiting for a permanent Estate Ghillie to join our well-established sporting team. The ideal candidate will have previous experience in a similar role, reporting to a Head Stalker and being a proficient user of argocats and quadbikes. Flexibility, dedication and a modern approach to sporting management will be key attributes.

Based in Kinlochleven and reporting to the Mamore Head Stalker, the Estate Ghillie will provide assistance as directed in deer management, estate maintenance and environmental management.

Depending on the time of year, key tasks within the role are the mechanical extraction of deer in challenging terrain, assisting the Head Stalker with guest hospitality, working alongside the sporting team in carrying out maintenance tasks, and participating in environmental work such as habitat monitoring and habitat enhancement. Previous experience of Highland deer management is essential, along with sit-in and sit-astride ATV tickets and a current off-road driving qualification.
