Description
We are in need of one or two persons from May - September
We need one more house keeper for cleaning rooms, cabins and rorbus and one person to work in our cafe & restaurant. Workers with experience from similar jobs in Norway are preferable. We already have two workawayers staying for the whole summer. Ideally you have your own campervan to stay in, but we also try to find a place to stay for two more workawayers.
Please contact us if you are interested to help for one, two or three months! :)
Our place is located Lodingen Vestbygd in the beginning of the Lofoten islands. Me - Gunnar and my wife Vibeke are running a small camp site with cabins, rorbus and rooms. We have a restaurant and offering guided fishing tours & outdoor trips. We have 16 motorboats for fishing and sea safaris. We provide accommodation in rooms, cabins & rorbus as well as the camping site. We also har a café, restaurant and a private marina with boat, canoe and kayak rentals.
We offer activities and experiences; Deep sea fishing, diving, birdwatching. Moose & reindeer safaris. Eagle safaris. Northern Lights experiences. Hiking trails & countryside sightseeing.
We especially search for somebody who is interested in working with tourism and could stay for a longer therm.
We are looking for enthusiastic, responsible, friendly and active people who in the first place want to help us with cleaning rooms and cabins. Persons who know about repairing boats or handyman housework such as painting, gardening, repairs & small projects, etc. would be really helpful.
We offer you accommodation in a room, cabin or house only for workawayers and a minimum wage for every hour worked. We will give you the opportunity to get insights in our business, learning Norwegian and Norwegian culture, take part in our outdoor activities and be a part of our everyday life and business.
In your spare time you can enjoy the outdoors (kayaking, fishing, hiking etc.) or just have a quiet time for your own interests.
When responding, please put the dates that you are looking to stay with us as the subject line.
We especially look for couples or friends between 25 and 50 years old that would like to experience to work in Northern Norway!
Due to a lot of mails from you nice people we don't have time to answer you all. But please write short about yourself and your skills. If you have experience from other similar places in Norway that would be very helpful. Maybe you are the one we are looking for.
