  Description

  Hey there! We’re looking for someone awesome to join our small team this winter at Boréale Lodge, a cozy adventure lodge surrounded by stunning mountains and endless forests. This is our home, and we love sharing it with guests from all over the world. We are located 35 minutes south of Whitehorse.
  
  We’re a fun, outdoorsy crew who love good vibes, good company, and making people feel welcome. If you’re someone who enjoys meeting new people, likes variety in your day, and doesn’t mind pitching in wherever needed — you’ll fit right in!
  
  When:
  We’re looking for help specifically during the month of February and March, it will be a paid position and you will be doing between 30-40 hours of work per week with two days off. You can also come earlier in January if that works better for you.
  
  What You’ll Do:
  You’ll be part of the daily life at the lodge, helping with whatever needs doing to keep things running smoothly:
  • Cleaning guest rooms and common areas
  • Helping with dishes and meals
  • Welcoming guests and making them feel at home
  • Lending a hand with little projects or maintenance around the lodge
  
  Every day is a bit different, and we all chip in as a team.
  
  Who We’re Looking For:
  • Friendly, positive, and easygoing
  • Enjoys meeting people from around the world
  • Comfortable working in a team and helping wherever needed
  • Loves nature, quiet places, and a good laugh
  • Some hospitality or cleaning experience is helpful, but not a must
  • Ideally you have your own vehicle, it makes it easier to go explore on your days off, but not a must.
  
  What You’ll Get:
  • A warm, welcoming place to stay surrounded by beautiful wilderness
  • Free accommodation and hourly salary of $20 per hour
  • Delicious meals and a cozy atmosphere
  • Plenty of time to explore the outdoors; snowshoeing, fat biking, northern lights, you name it!
  • A chance to meet amazing people and experience true Yukon life
  
  We can’t wait to share this special place with someone who’ll love it as much as we do.
