Living in the Highlands and Islands

The Highlands and Islands are awash with opportunities for your career and your family’s future or your future family’s future!

We know about working in the Highlands and Islands because that’s what we do, that’s where we’re based and that’s why we love it here.

You have got to earn a living, that’s a fact of life. So why don’t you do it somewhere wonderful.

Ask yourself: Are you going to crawl in rush-hour traffic or drive along the side of a loch and glance up to see the snow on the mountain tops? Or swap your train ticket for a ferry one?

Will you live on the mainland or a short ferry ride away or on one of the more remote islands where the amenities like leisure and community centres can be better than in small urban towns? Some villages on the mainland can be more remote than islands with ferries and airports; the scenery here is considered world-class and given international recognition for its importance.

Are you going to live and work in a vibrant country town, one of the bigger hubs like Aberdeen and Inverness, a small village or a remote spot down a single track road?

Is it going to be the Hebrides, Orkneys or Shetland Isles? The Highlands and Islands seems such a small phrase for a big variety of choice.

Do you ever really see your neighbours or feel part of the community?

Here at HIJOBS we will show you a range of career opportunities across various sectors, from hospitality to retail and healthcare to engineering and If you don’t find what you are looking for, you can register and stay updated as we continually update the page with new listings that arise all over the Highlands and Islands.
