ABOUT US

Widegrens Gård conducts organic farming of carrots and onions, among other things. Since the farming is organic and works best when weeds are removed by hand, we employ around 180 (!) people every summer. It is mainly young people who work in weed removal, but adults also join us.

We are one of Gotland's largest employers for youth and have extensive experience in this area. We constantly strive to develop our routines to offer a safe and well-functioning start to working life! Perhaps you will be one of our stars this summer?

ABOUT YOU

Many have their very first summer job with us. Therefore, you do not need any experience as you will be trained on-site. What is required of you as an applicant?

• You want to work
• You want to learn what is required to perform the job and get paid for it
• You can follow instructions
• You can get to all our fields
• You take responsibility for your work and do what is expected

To work with us, you must have been born in 2011 or earlier (referring to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's legislation regarding work for children and youth).

We only work outdoors, so it is important that you enjoy being outside in all weather! You who are applying for a job with us must be able to reach ALL fields with your own vehicle or a ride to the designated start time (taking the bus has proven to be ineffective in previous years). The fields we will be working on are located in central Gotland, such as in Väskinde, Follingbo, Barlingbo, Atlingbo, Roma, Stenkumla, and Mästerby. You who are applying must have your own accommodation in Gotland.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES & HOURS

As a weed remover, you will help organic carrots and onions compete against weeds. You will be on specially built machines that slowly move over the rows while you hand-pick weeds. Each machine is staffed by 5 people, one of whom controls the speed with pedals at their feet. There are also team leaders and field coaches responsible in the fields.

The work is part-time, and we mainly work weekdays, but weekends may also occur. Typically, you start at 7:00 and finish at 14:00 or 15:00, BUT other working hours may apply. The working hours will be in the schedule so you can plan accordingly.

The weed removal takes place approximately from 12/6 to 1/8. (For those not attending school, there is an opportunity to work for a longer period.) On Widegrens Gård's Facebook and Instagram, there are pictures and videos showing how the job is done!

Salary according to collective agreement via Gröna Arbetsgivare/Livs. Recruitment is ongoing, so send your application as soon as possible and do not wait until the last date of application, as there is a risk that you will be too late.

You apply via email with your own email address. Welcome with your application to:
