What we wish from you?
-Self-management and self-reliance
Of course we teach your tasks and are there to support you, but we wish you can operate independently too and feel comfortable with spending time by yourself on your free days. The working days are so social that we feel the need to go sometimes a little hermit for the free times to charge the batteries, so we are not available for socializing all the days but at the same time are happy to have you as part of team and as company!
-Trustworthiness and commitment to work
We are a very small team, Maiju, Paolo and Hani the labrador retriever, but your part in making Utula work is critical, so we are looking for people who are committed to doing their part/work in Utula! We are also very happy to find a team-mate to do summer season 2022, most things are more fun shared...
-Happy to do physical work and laid back
The work you will be doing is mainly physical, indoor and out. Not sitting on the computer, ever. So it's good if you like to be active and are not to afraid to use your body. Our attitude to working is a combination of getting done what it needed effectively but taking it easy and enjoying the moment whenever possible, so being generally laid back and flexible attitude goes well with Utula vibe.
-Special skills
Mainly the work is simple and can be taught easily. It would be helpful if you have some idea of how to operate in the kitchen and even better consider yourself a decent cook! Also a drivers licence would be helpful (for sometimes taking the laundry and shopping), but not mandatory.
---------------------------------------------------------
What you get?
- Accommodation (those working on slot 1 will stay in one of our cottages with single bed or double if you are a couple), (those working slot 2 will stay in our caravan on the property in a secluded nature area), access to kitchen/shared space and open view on the lake and Utula beach in the pure Finnish nature surrounded by forest!
- There is a bike for you to use in your spare time and free days. We can sometimes offer a ride for you to Imatra, if you want to do some trip by train or bus on your free days to explore, if arranged in advance with us.
- There is a rowing boat and 2 SUP boards that can be used on the days when the guests are not staying or early morning and late evening, Saimaa has wonderful sunrises and sunsets and there is a nearby island which can be paddled out to and camping on one of the many nearby islands if you are adventurous, we have the gear to lend.
-You will be part supporting of a beautiful wellness retreat, you will have free access to the yin and nidra classes we give if you are not on your workshift. Hopefully you will find us good company, fair, easy going and clear in our communication! That is what we respect too.
-Daily sauna after the last client shift and of course in the warm days, cooling your self in the pure (and good tasting) water of Saimaa. Going rowing on the lake, or camping on some nearby island if you are adventurous, we have the gear to lend.
-We will be taking turns preparing our staff meals in shifts (you prepare half/we prepare half) and when it is convenient in Summer we eat the same food as customers, mostly vegetarian.
You can make you way here by car or by taking a train or bus to Imatra, from where we will pick you up (45 min. drive to forest).
Please ask, if you are interested and have questions about coming to stay with us! So if you get that special feeling, don't hesitate to ride the wave!
Maiju, Paolo and Hani warmly welcome you
