We're often looking for like-minded people that are as stoked as we are, to call Lofoten our home and want to be part of creating something special here at FURU.
If you love life, the outdoors, are enthusiastic about learning new skills and have no problem getting your hands dirty, please write to us. We are looking for positive people that are energetic, smiling and excited to whatever comes your way.
We believe that attitude is everything and skills can be learned. No matter your background, we are happy to hear from you! Please write us an email to jobs@furuhostel.com, with your cv and a few lines about what really makes you happy. Please indicate in your subject for what position you are applying to.
Before you write us an email though, please check the list below for our current openings. If there are no postings below, we got our crew together for the season and we won't be able to read your application. We will however keep this page updated with new job postings and feel free to contact us again when you see a job that is of your interest.
We don't have staff housing at this moment, but we are always supporting your housing search. However, we got a few Van spots for our staff for the days you work at FURU.
We would love to answer all of your nice messages, but due to the large amount of emails we receive, we will only contact you if we move on with the interview process. Thanks so much for considering being part of our humble, little FURU family.
Have fun out there and spread some positive vibes :)
Guri, Arne and the FURU family
CURRENT VACANCIES:
Ongoing:
Flexibles in Housekeeping // all year round
If you don't look for a full-time role or maybe have already a job and still would like to work at FURU in between, this role might be for you. All year round, we look for staff that can come in to support us at busy events in the Café or help with houskeeping. If you want to be part of the FURU crew but only have a few random hours to work, do send us a message. This fits probably perfectly if you already live in Lofoten.
Winter 2024:
Ski, Splitboard guide // Feb-April 2024
You will need to possess the right licenses and expertise to take our guests out on guided adventures. If you have that and a general love for bringing a smile to people's faces, contact us. We work on a freelancing basis with our guides with fixed payment terms.
Internships Winter 2024 and Spring 2024:
If you want to gain working experience at a medium-sized Hostel with a small team, this might be for you. We love bringing in a person with lots of energy that looks at our operation with fresh eyes and an eagerness to improve. Each internship lasts two month and a project needs to be agreed upon beforehand. Our internships are non-paid but come with free accomodation in one of our dorms and includes free food as well.

Summer 2024:
We will start hiring for next summer season during the winter. Please wait though to send us your application as it might get lost in the amount of emails we receive. We start screening applications for summer in February and contact you during March. Start of the season will be mid-end May and lasts until end August. We prioritize applicants that can stay the whole summer (June-August) but can make exceptions if you can stay at least two months.
