  Beschreibung

  Hei! I am a reindeer herding Sámi living in Karasjok, Norway and Inari, Finland. I work as a veterinarian as well. I have my own private practice, which gives me a certain freedom. I grew up in reindeer herding family and these extra ordinary animals are a huge part of my life. During the winter time, we have to take extra care of our reindeer. Some of the animals are taken home for special care. I also have riding horses that I love to spend my with.

  Arbeit

  I am looking for a person, who already has experience to work with animals to help around at our home. I don't have business activity, but I need help in our private daily life.
  
  When contacting me, tell me more about yourself and when you are able to come and help us.
  
  Requirements:
  
  -driver's licence
  -preferably some experience with animals
  -flexible and compliant person, with a good sense of humour
  -independent and self-initiated personality
  -to be able to work alone and in a team
  -good health and physical condition
  -good communications skills
  -good knowledge of english (or finnish, norwegian, swedish, if you are not fluent in english)
  
  You would be taking care of our reindeer in Inari, Finland. (And possibly help me out with my horses, if needed).
  
  The main work is to help us to take care of the reindeer. You don't need to have any knowledge of reindeer in advance, because I will teach you all the important things about the reindeer and reindeer husbandry. You need to be able to drive a car during the winter time.
  
  Daily work with reindeer consist of feeding the animals, monitoring the health of the animals, helping me or some other family member to do basic maintaince work like simply fence reipair, helping with hay, separating the reindeer, treating sick animals etc. I wish that you would be comfortable to treat the sick reindeer by yourself, in case if all the family members are busy. Reindeer are located in Inari, Finland.
  
  Working hours might vary day to day. Therefore I hope to find someone, who is flexible. I need you to help out at least 5 days a week. You will have days off. Schedules will be discussed with each workawayer individually.
  
  There is space for a one workawayer. If you are two people travelling, ask the possibility.
  
  I prefer to find a workawayer, who could stay at least for a month or longer.
  
  Contact me, if you are interested to help me out.
  Tell me something about yourself, your experience with animals and when you would be able to visit us.
