We only have a limited number of volunteer placements available at each youth hostel.

The recruitment process takes a number of weeks, we are unable to accept volunteers to start immediately.

We don't accept CV's. Anyone wishing to volunteer must complete the volunteer application form.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and provide satisfactory references. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visa applications.

If you are interested in volunteering please download the application form below and email the completed form to volunteers@hostellingscotland.org.uk  

Please also see Volunteer Applicant Privacy Notice to learn about how we process the applicant's personal data.

The Youth and Volunteer Engagement manager will be in touch if we have any suitable positions to then arrange a volunteer interview.
