Scotland’s Remote Isle of Muck Is Looking for Teachers

Whoever is awarded the job will be expected to live on the island full-time, which would bring Muck’s total population from 40 residents to 41. He or she will be responsible for six primary schools and three nursery students. Since older students are educated on the mainland, student numbers in the island’s schools remain relatively small.

In an effort to attract teachers to the island, the job advertisement also states, “The island is ideal for nature lovers, with many species of birds…Muck enjoys stunning views of the mainland and the other Small Isles, as well as Skye and the Outer Hebrides.”

If the opportunity to teach on a beautiful, remote Scottish island isn’t enough to entice you to move to Muck, the salary is a generous £41,418 a year, plus a relocation package of up to £6,500.
