Around 100 jobs created ahead of opening of Scotland’s first wave pool

Around 100 jobs are up for grabs ahead of the opening of Scotland’s first ever wave pool in Edinburgh.

Lost Shore Surf Resort is hiring for a number of roles in surfing operations, including surfing instructors and lifeguards who can earn up to £12.74 per hour.

The resort will be the home of Europe’s largest wave pool with luxury lodges and premium pods, a wellness treatment studio, waterside restaurants and shopping areas.

Lost Shore Surf Resort confirmed they are a Living Wage Employer adding that although the resort does not open until September, many roles will start well before then for staff training and familiarisation.

The venue is located ten minutes from Edinburgh Airport and will be accessible via public transport.

In total, around 100 roles are currently on offer with a range of work schedules and hours available to apply for on their website.

Andy Roger, new chief executive of Lost Shore Surf Resort, said: “Lost Shore Surf Resort is going to make a huge splash when we open in September.

“Being a Living Wage Employer we are committed to building a fantastic team to help us deliver our vision for Lost Shore Surf Resort.

“The opening of any new business is an exciting moment. The build up to the first day is part of that journey with the new team learning about the resort and becoming well placed to deliver for our visitors from the day we open.

“We have a number of dream roles for those who love surfing, but you don’t have to surf to work for us.

“We have lots of different roles available and we are looking for passionate and motivated individuals who will be excited to be part of one of the most unique openings anywhere in the world this year and thrive in a diverse and inclusive work environment. If you think that is you then please get in touch.”
