Careers

Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is Edinburgh’s oldest purpose-built visitor attraction, situated at the top of the Royal Mile. We are a 5-star VisitScotland-rated experience consisting of a historic Camera Obscura, 5 floors of interactive exhibits, Rooftop Terrace and Gift Shop. Part of Visitor Centres Ltd, the company also manages Landmark Forest Adventure Park in Carrbridge, Inveraray Jail and Landmark Press.  

We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our team. We’ve got actors, history buffs and technical innovators. Science fans, data experts and hospitality pros. We don’t mind what your background is, as long as you’re a natural-born chatterbox who loves meeting new people. If you can also speak languages other than English – even better!

In 2024 we won the prestigious Scottish Thistle Award for Tourism & Hospitality Employer of the Year, Central and East Region, in recognition of our commitment to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and innovative work environment.

Camera Obscura & World of Illusions are proud to be accredited as a Living Wage Employer. The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate calculated according to the costs of living.

Also, in 2023 we were crowned winner of the Trailblazer Award at the Living Wage awards ceremony! 
We were recognised for going above and beyond paying our staff the real Living Wage, setting the bar high for employer standards within the tourism sector and providing an outstanding example it is hoped others will follow.
