CURRENT VACANCIES
Heatherlea is one of Britain’s leading wildlife tour companies. An employee-owned Company based at The Mountview Hotel in Nethy Bridge, we offer guided wildlife/birdwatching holidays in Scotland and around the world. Heatherlea hold five stars from VisitScotland for our ‘Wildlife Experience’, and operate overseas under our own ATOL Licence.
About 'Employee Ownership' Heatherlea became an Employee-owned Trust in July 2021. The main advantage is that the company is no longer owned by an single private individual, a commitment to the longer term which helps to secure our business, jobs and culture. All assets (including Mountview Hotel, Nethy Bridge) are secured within the Trust, which means we have a more resilient and adaptable business, making us stronger going forward. A second advantage is that employees are even more engaged and committed, because they benefit from a clear, shared purpose. An Employee Owned Trust also has the option to award bonus payments depending on successful performance of the company, and these currently benefit from exemption from income tax.
Due to continued expansion, we now have opportunities for capable, self-motivated individuals to join our small, friendly team. We are fortunate to work in a unique nature/travel environment, organising wildlife experiences which give both staff and clients a great deal of enjoyment. We are highly focused on the delivery of exceptional holidays.
