Crossbasket Castle, a luxury hotel on the outskirts of High Blantyre, is set to create 50 new jobs in the hospitality industry, as it looks to recruit the best talent in the sector to join its growing team.

Following a major £15m investment, Crossbasket Castle will launch its highly anticipated new offering this August, with an additional 40-bedroom hotel, two five-bedroom eco-friendly lodges, a luxury spa and new destination restaurant opening to the public.

This new recruitment drive has launched to fill up jobs across the business, including reception, waiting, bar, kitchen staff and more.

Candidates will have the opportunity to apply for roles at Trocadero’s restaurant – a unique venue which promises to ‘transport guests to the dawn of a new golden era’ with seven-night-a-week entertainment and a world-class menu overseen by acclaimed Michelin star chef, Michel Roux Jr.
