Iconic Balamory village look to hire couple for 'dream job' in bakery with private accommodation included

The village which acted as the backdrop for the iconic children's TV show Balamory is looking to hire a couple for a "dream job" in an award-winning bakery.

Scottish recruitment site HiJOBS.net is hoping to tempt two people to join the popular Island Baking Organics in the village of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull as part of the biscuit-making team.

Those lucky enough to be hired will be involved in all aspects of biscuit production, such as weighing ingredients, baking, chocolate work, and packing. The starting salary for the jobs is between £19,000 and £22,000 and no experience is required, while there will be opportunities for further training and progression, reports the Record.

The role also comes with private accommodation, which is ideal for a couple looking to start their life away from the stress of the city.

The Island Bakery Organics' range is stocked in Waitrose supermarkets, as well as organic stores and delis across the UK, Europe, and the USA. It includes treats such as oatcakes, shortbreads, and favourites like Lemon Melts and Chocolate Gingers

As Islands go, there aren't many as stunning as Mull. It is world renowned for its wild and unspoilt landscapes, it routinely tops rankings as among the most beautiful places in the UK — with the picturesque capital of Tobermory world-famous for its iconic multi-coloured buildings along the harbour front.

Director at Island Bakery Organics Joe Reade commented: "These positions are ideally suited for a couple or good friends, perhaps starting out in their careers in Scotland's rich and diverse food industry.

"We're a close-knit team, employing a number of local residents, but see this as an exciting opportunity to welcome some new faces and give them a real taste of island life."

Commercial Director and Founder at HiJOBS Laura Saunders added: "This is one of the sweetest jobs HiJOBS has ever promoted.

"It's rare for a full-time, year-round role that includes accommodation to come up in remote locations such as the Hebrides, which is a real barrier in attracting new talent to the region.

"HiJOBS prides itself on supporting rural Scottish communities, and Island Bakery is the ideal example of a local and successful family-run business with the community at its heart."

More information can be found on the HiJOBS website.
