    Help in Sweden – Summer Season 2026
    We are currently looking for help during the summer season from June 15th to August 31st.

    We run a small nature resort in the beautiful forests of Tiveden, Sweden, with a café, food service, cabins, and accommodation for visitors. The area is surrounded by lakes, forests, hiking trails, and is located close to Tiveden National Park. Every summer we welcome many travelers and guests from different parts of the world.

    In our café we serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, ice cream, pastries, and souvenirs. The café also works as the reception for our cabins and guests.

    We are looking for someone who would like to become part of our nature-based business during the summer season. The work is varied and includes:
    • Helping in the kitchen with food and pastry preparation
    • Serving guests
    • Washing dishes
    • Cleaning cabins and shared spaces
    • Welcoming guests and helping with check-in

    This position is suitable for someone who enjoys practical work, meeting people, and working in an environment where no two days are the same. Previous experience in hospitality, cafés, kitchens, cleaning, or guest service is appreciated.

    We are looking for someone who is:
    • Responsible and positive
    • Flexible and willing to help where needed
    • Comfortable working in a team
    • Interested in nature and simple countryside living

    Your English does not need to be perfect, but we need to be able to communicate and understand each other during daily work. Therefore, we would like to have a short conversation before making any decisions.

    Working here is not only about helping — it is also an opportunity to experience Swedish nature, forest life, and the peaceful atmosphere of Tiveden during the summer.
