Fågelsjö gammelgård Bortom Åa is one of the seven Hälsingegårdar that was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List on July 1, 2012. Bortom Åa is a well-preserved cultural environment with roots from Finnish immigration in the 17th century and is an invaluable source of knowledge about building techniques, self-sufficiency, craft techniques, and folk art. In 1910, a new house was built on the farmyard, and the old main building from 1818 was left intact with all furniture and items preserved. The farm was bequeathed by the last owner to the municipality in 1943 and is now owned by Ljusdal Municipality.

We are now looking for guides for the summer season.

Job Responsibilities

As a guide, you are the first person our visitors meet. You will provide guided tours of the farm, which are held daily between June 1 and September 13. The job also includes answering the phone, receiving bookings, handling the cash register, maintaining order in public areas, assisting with events, locking, and setting alarms. Before you can conduct your own guided tours, you will attend introduction days on May 8 and 9 and receive material to study.

During the introduction, you will have the chance to see Bortom Åa before the summer season begins and create your own impression of the guiding material you have had time to read. The days will also include safety training in the form of first aid and fire safety education.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is self-driven, engaged, and comfortable speaking in front of groups in Swedish and English. An interest in history, old buildings and objects, crafts, and nature is desirable. It is an advantage if you speak multiple languages and have experience in guiding. A driver's license is required.
