    We are looking for four people to help with lambing in April - beginning of June. The responsibilities are to help the sheeps deliver the lambs and take care of the sheeps, some times feeding. It is a big sheep farm with 800 sheeps and requires 24/7 care.

    We are also looking into the possibility of having someone as soon as possible to help an elderly lady with the housework at the farm. Requires cleaning and helping around the house and possibly sometimes helping with feeding the sheeps if requires.

    We offer 10.000 kr a week plus housing and food. Also access to a car when needed.
