Wild coastlines, big skies and a close-knit island community set the rhythm of daily life on Islay. The roll of waves, breeze-blown dune grasses, and call of seabirds make up a rich island soundtrack. It’s a haven for people who live and breathe the outdoors. Exhilarating and revitalising, vibrant and relaxed - the wonder of the wilds here is limitless.
Set within this captivating landscape lies Another Place – The Machrie. Originating from the Gaelic term ‘machair’, meaning ‘the linking stretch of land that joins the grassy dunes with the shoreline’, The Machrie offers elevated comforts and unforgettable experiences.
We’re looking for responsible, efficient, and skilled Mechanic to maintain, repair, and ensure the smooth running of all mechanical equipment for our hotel, estate grounds, and Championship Links Golf Course. Reporting to our Head Mechanic, you’ll be essential for ensuring team, guests, and members experience a safe, comfortable, and compliant environment and experience the best of what life at Another Place – The Machrie offers.
Please note, this is a full-time salaried role working 40 hours per week.
Due to the hotel’s remote location, you will require a valid driving license and access to a personal vehicle. We also offer team accommodation within same-sex residences (where possible).
As a team, we work together to deliver memorable moments for our guests to immerse themselves in the vibrancy of island living, and it’s our strong sense of community and our wider connection to the residents and natural beauty of Islay, that allows us to offer a space where outdoor living and indoor comforts coalesce – where both guests, locals, and team can rest, play, work, gather, and make the most of what matters.

JOB PROFILE EXAMS ASSISTANT WELCOME Thank you for the interest you have shown in joining Luckley House School as Exams Assistant. Luckley House is a warm and welcoming boarding and day school. We are a community, small enough at 370 pupils for everyone to be seen, valued and counted but large enough to provide a wide variety of academic, sport and creative opportunities. Our uniqueness lies in the combination of our size, Christian ethos and flexibility to meet the needs of individual pupils and their families. We provide a distinctly academic education that is tailored to the individual needs of each pupil. This is offered in the context of a broad curriculum which celebrates the arts and sports as much as academic achievement. We are looking for an organised and reliable Exams Assistant to support the smooth running of internal and external examinations. Working closely with the Exams Officer, you will help ensure exams are delivered calmly, securely, and in line with JCQ regulations. The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail, strong organisational and communication skills, and the ability to remain calm during busy exam periods. Some flexibility is required during peak exam seasons, when early starts or additional hours may be necessary. I am delighted that you are considering applying for this role and hope that you feel inspired to submit an application. I look forward to hearing from you. Mrs Claire Gilding-Brant Head ABOUT LUCKLEY HOUSE Luckley House is a co-educational, independent day and boarding school for pupils aged from 11 to 18 years. Situated on the southern outskirts of Wokingham, Berkshire, Luckley House is set in 20 acres of landscaped lawns and majestic woodland. The School has a Christian ethos with a mission and values which flow from this. Luckley House offers a highly personalized academic experience, tailoring its education to the individual needs of each pupil. The academic results at both GCSE and A Level consistently exceed national averages, and the majority of students secure places at their first-choice universities. The mission of the School is to provide an outstanding education for boys and girls characterised by academic excellence, a rich and diverse range of opportunities, aspiration and enthusiasm for life and generosity of spirit. The School has strong traditions in music, drama, art, debating, community outreach and sport, and there are many cocurricular activities open to pupils to help them develop their talents to reach the highest possible standards. Luckley House was formed in 1959 through the merger of two girls’ schools: Luckley School, founded in 1918 on the current site, and Oakfield House, established in the Lake District in 1895. The School adopted the name Luckley House School in 2013, and in 2015 began admitting boys for the first time. Over the past decade, student numbers have grown by over 75%, with boys now comprising half of the student body. Currently, the School is at its full capacity of 370 students and has been given for approval to expand to 420. The School is committed to inclusivity, welcoming pupils from all faiths and backgrounds, which enriches the community and prepares students for the diversity of the modern world. Most students live within a 15-mile radius of the School, with many joining in Years 7, 9, and the Sixth Form from both independent and maintained schools. There are 40 boarding places available, with between 35 and 40 students boarding on weeknights, approximately half of whom are from abroad or are weekly boarders.

Hi Thanks for asking about our role of Collections & Delivery Van Driver. We are a dynamic and professional group of people working to create a fairer society through helping to improve the lives of people suffering homelessness and preventing people from becoming homeless and we’re always looking forward to welcoming new, like-minded, people into our team. This role helps the team to collect, sell and deliver pre-loved furniture. Our furniture stores cover 10,000ft2 and have a huge selection of household furniture and electricals – we offer a unique selection of high quality and affordable items with new stock every single day. The proceeds from selling the furniture help towards ending homelessness. This is an important time for us as we meet the many challenges in the sector and in the whole of society and we are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the field and to achieve more for the people that rely on our services. To find out more about our work, go to www.wearetrinity.org.uk If you want an exciting challenge with an aspiring organisation then please write to us and tell us about yourself and why you want to work with us and please include your current CV. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Steve Hedley CEO – Creating Exciting Opportunities Why work for us? Trinity is all about creating a fairer society through ending homelessness. Homelessness in Britain is the result of treating housing as a commodity rather than a human right. It is rooted in privilege, wealth and power and policies that are inconsistent with human rights – neglecting or failing to respond adequately to the needs of the most disadvantaged in response to crises or economic developments. The response should be clear: we must commit to ending homelessness. This would, in fact, be in line with the global target to ensure adequate housing for all by 2030, which was committed to in the UN’s sustainable development goals. Why work for us…? Because we believe deeply in justice and we are a community of committed people who want to make our lives count in leaving a legacy that makes the world a better place. We have deeply held values and ethics and a high degree of self-directed performance. We have a positive coaching culture and we are solution focussed. There is a genuine and deeply felt commitment to continuous improvement and an aspirational approach to the future and we will not stop until everyone has a home…or at least a bed for the night. Other reasons: Great people We currently have a team of 50+ gifted, friendly, funny people and in this year’s staff survey scored Trinity 9/10 as a place to work! Flexible working Some roles dictate that you’ve got to be somewhere at a certain time. Outside of this we value autonomy and flexibility and we trust our people to manage their own time. Above average local pay Pension Good annual leave Maternity and paternity leave We look after you when you’re sick or need time off Self-directed learning A day off for your birthday And an all-expenses paid holiday (Okay… no free holiday) “This is one of the happiest places I’ve ever worked. I look forward to coming in the mornings.” What we do Trinity Homeless Projects (Trinity) is a registered Charity working in West London and Slough to end homelessness. Hillingdon is one of London’s largest Boroughs and we are the largest provider of Supported Accommodation in the Borough. We currently have over 50 properties housing over 300 people. We employ full-time trained Coaches who offer between one and four hours coaching per resident per week depending on need and risk. Resident’s needs and risks are reviewed by the Team every week. Coaches are trained NLP Practitioners and receive monthly individual and team coaching. We map our progress through a Strengths Chart that focuses on assets not deficits and this year our ex-resident survey showed that 86% of people that move on from our Supported Housing are still securely housed after 12 months, making Trinity a long-term solution to homelessness. We run a Reconnection Service for people sleeping rough at Heathrow and our Day Service (SHOC) in Slough work with about 100 people every week. We are also family coaches and help families from UK, Afghanistan and Ukraine. We have two large furniture recycling stores that deliver employment training and saves over 2,300 tons of C02 every year and we provide training and education to over 150 businesses, schools and colleges in an effort to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping. We have a strategy with mapped pathways that can provide a local system where no one need to suffer homelessness again. “Trinity is amazing, they have taught me how to be positive and how to stay strong and focussed on my life” Our Pathway Everyone has the right to a home…or at least a bed for the night “Without Trinity I don’t know where I would be, it’s made me see life again” Life exp...
