This role is a great opportunity to build a career in fish husbandry – we are looking for some experience but the job will provide full training in fish husbandry, fish health, welfare and boat handling and the potential to build responsibility within a supportive team in a beautiful location and outstanding community.

Why Kames?
Kames is a unique place to work. We are the leading trout producer in the UK and the only farm to grow trout in the sea, which we’ve pioneered for over 50 years. We’re passionate about the exceptional quality of our fish and the successful applicant would need to be serious about working hard to achieve our high standards of husbandry and welfare. We are also Scotland’s oldest family fish farm and have a long-standing record of innovation, connection to academia and education, a belief in valuing people and knowledge alongside technology, and caring for our environment and our community. This is not just our workplace; it’s our home.
Everyone in our team obtains a broad range of experience and a holistic understanding of fish husbandry through our fully vertically integrated farm, giving them a level of skill and expertise that is hard to achieve in a bigger farm setting, as well as the opportunity to be a valued voice at the table.
Kames won Best Aquaculture Company in the UK in 2022 and Best Animal Welfare in 2023 at the industry awards, and our core principles of quality, sustainability and community underpin both our everyday working life and our future strategy.
Loch Craignish is situated between Lochgilphead and Oban, next to the vibrant community of Ardfern.
Requirements
The ideal candidate will have fish husbandry and fish health and water monitoring experience.
