Now Hiring:
Director of Mischief

Hey kids - want the coolest job ever?

From playgrounds to pastries to magical places, do you know all the best bits of Edinburgh? We’re looking for a kid who knows where to find the best ice cream, secret shortcuts, and the perfect places to make a little mischief. If that sounds like you, you might just be our first-ever Director of Mischief at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh!

This isn’t just any title - it’s a VIP kid’s role made just for you. As our Director of Mischief, you’ll be our official Fun Ambassador, helping other families visiting to discover the magic of Edinburgh your way, with plenty of laughter and adventure along the way. And, it’s all made even more magical in partnership with our friends at Museum Context.

What Do You Get If You Win?

Glad you asked. It’s EPIC:

Totally free entry to 5 of the coolest kid-friendly places in Edinburgh – zoo trips, castle quests, time-travelling museums, and more. Bring your curiosity (and probably a snack).
Backstage access to Virgin Hotels Edinburgh – including meeting the team, including our Director of Waggy Welcomes, our lovable hotel dog, Bonnar. Be the star of videos, guides and fun content for other visiting families.
A magical after-hours VIP visit to Museum Context. Step inside and explore a trove of spellbinding wonders! Discover enchanted objects, curious trinkets, and wizard-worthy keepsakes. And choose a magical item (or two!) to take home - perhaps a wand, a cloak of mystery, or a loyal creature companion.
A luxury overnight stay for your family in our Family King Suite, complete with cool bunkbeds and a mini bar stacked high with sweets & child-friendly delights (yes, really!)
And of course… the one and only title of Director of Mischief
