We’re looking for a proactive and hands-on General Assistant Supervisor to join our team at the Sellaness Lodge Accommodation Facility. This rotational role offers an exciting opportunity to lead a dedicated team while enjoying the unique lifestyle and stunning surroundings of Shetland. You’ll play a key part in overseeing our soft services — including cleaning, catering support, and general site operations — ensuring the highest standards of safety, service, and compliance are met at all times

• Free on-site facilities, including a fully equipped 24/7 gym and social bar
• Structured rotation – work for 3 weeks, then enjoy 3 weeks off
• Laundry service available.

This is what our Chef Manager Steven Kellighan says about rotational work in Shetland: "Working for Sodexo in Shetland is very rewarding in many aspects. Sure, being away from my family for 3 weeks might be challenging but once the trip is done and it’s time to go home the time off with them makes it all worthwhile. In Shetland I love to get out for walks/cycling after work particularly in the long summer months where it doesn’t get dark for very long.

Within the accommodation at Sella Ness there is a fully equipped and modern 24/7 gym on site.

The Bar is also great place to socialise with friends and colleagues. The Meals provided to us are all nutritionally balanced and there is always a plentiful selection. You can literally work for 3 weeks and not spend any money if you want to!"
