LOST Shore Surf Resort, Scotland’s first inland surf resort, is set to make waves in Edinburgh’s tourism sector with the announcement of 100 job vacancies ahead of its grand opening in September. This innovative resort is poised to significantly enhance Edinburgh’s burgeoning tourism economy.

The resort is actively seeking to fill over 100 diverse roles, including therapists, food and beverage team members, maintenance and landscaping staff, marketing professionals, security personnel, and visitor experience coordinators. Additionally, the resort is recruiting for specialised positions in surfing operations, such as surfing instructors and lifeguards for its state-of-the-art wave pool.

The resort is expected to create a total of 130 job opportunities and attract an additional 160,000 surfers and tourists to the surrounding areas annually.

As a Living Wage Employer, Lost Shore Surf Resort is committed to offering competitive wages and fostering a supportive work environment. Although the resort’s official opening is in September, many positions will commence earlier to facilitate comprehensive staff training and familiarisation.
