We have an exciting opportunity for a Food and Beverage Assistant to join our lovely team at Ardgartan Argyll.

At the edge of the Argyll Forest Park, pine-covered mountains sweep down to meet the shore of Loch Long where 40 cabins sit. A more perfect spot for a forest escape is hard to imagine.


About the Food and Beverage Assistant Role:

As our Food and Beverage Assistant, you’ll play a key role in the smooth running of our Forest Retreat, the welcoming hub of Forest Holidays. The Forest Retreat serves as a reception, shop, and café, a place for guests to relax, refuel, and plan their woodland adventures.

  • ➡️ Operate tills, handle payments, and follow cash handling procedures.
  • ➡️ Work as part of a close-knit team to ensure smooth daily operations.
  • ➡️ Ensure compliance with all health & safety and food hygiene regulations.
  • ➡️ Assist with the set-up and running of events and activities where required.

What Are We Looking For?

Our ideal Food and Beverage Assistant is friendly, professional, and guest-focused. You bring positivity and passion to everything you do and enjoy working in a team that values nature, service, and community.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • ✅ Experience in a customer-facing role (hospitality or retail preferred)
  • ✅ Great communication and interpersonal skills
  • ✅ A friendly and approachable attitude
  • ✅ Attention to detail and pride in maintaining high standards
  • ✅ A flexible approach to working across different tasks and shifts
  • ✅ A passion for delivering an excellent guest experience
  • ✅ A love for working in beautiful outdoor settings, come rain or shine!
