About Shetland
Shetland offers something for everybody, young and old, and there are lots of reasons people choose to move here. Some are attracted by the islands’ exceptional scenery and wildlife. Others come here for a year or two to study or because taking a job here is a logical career move – and 10, 20, 40 years later, they’re still here, having found a settled home and lifelong friendships in a magical place. Then there are others who are looking for a better quality of life for themselves and their families, which they find in Shetland’s first-rate education, culture and leisure facilities and inclusive, supportive community. If you’re used to the stresses of a busy town or city, Shetland definitely offers a more relaxed pace of life and an opportunity to achieve the perfect work/life balance.
Shetland Recreational Trust is willing to provide a relocation package for the correct candidate.
