About Tresco Island
At the heart of the Isles of Scilly archipelago, 28 miles from the Cornish coast, Tresco Island is a family‐run business comprising the whole island of Tresco and the Hell Bay Hotel on the neighbouring island of Bryher.
With timeshare and rental cottages, a 16-bedroom inn, two restaurants, a world-famous garden, a spa, an art gallery, a shop and a working farm, Tresco is a subtropical island known for its deserted bays, aquamarine seas and exceptional guest experiences.
Just across the water on the neighbouring island of Bryher, Hell Bay Hotel stands as Scilly’s highest-rated hotel and restaurant. Our boutique hotel offers 25 suites, a 3AA Rosette restaurant, a Crab Shack and wellness facilities - a haven of calm amidst the wild seascape of Bryher's west coast.

If the breathtaking views and island lifestyle aren't enough, we offer excellent pay rates, on-island accommodation, travel to and from the island, and a great range of benefits.
We're proud to offer competitive pay above the National Living Wage, and many positions offer gratuities. Some positions also offer meals on duty and pathways for progression for the right people.
Our range of staff benefits is constantly evolving and currently include a 20% discount in our eateries and shops, unlimited scheduled boating to explore the archipelago, subsidised spa membership and treatments, free entry to Tresco Abbey Garden, an Employee Assistance Programme, and discounted stays for friends and family.
