Job Description

Ready to take your career — and your lifestyle — to the next level

Shetland offers more than just a job — it’s a lifestyle upgrade

With over 50 years of established roots in Shetland, this organisation is proud to be a trusted part of the local community and a key contributor to the region’s development. Relocating is a significant step, and for the right candidate, a relocation package is available to help make the move as smooth as possible.

Live and work surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery, with beaches never more than 3 miles away. Life in Shetland is enriching; enjoy an active, outdoors-focused lifestyle with opportunities for sailing, rowing, surfing, mountain biking, hiking, and golf — all on your doorstep. The islands have modern sports centres and 300 stocked lochs for fishing enthusiasts. 

Many people believe Shetland has a harsh climate in the winter months, but climate and temperature are generally moderate all year round, with the average temperature typically never below freezing. 

The local economy is strong, supported by a thriving energy sector, and the region is governed by the richest council in the UK outside London, ensuring high-quality public services.

With 35 primary schools and 9 high schools, Shetland is an excellent place to raise a family. The peaceful environment and low-crime rate allow children to grow up with freedom and connection to nature.

Shetland boasts a welcoming, tight-knit community, outstanding local food and a high standard of living — making it the ideal location for both families and professionals looking for balance, opportunity, and adventure.
