Vacant job

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 hire a large group of summer workers to manage the cultivation. It is mainly young people who work in weed removal, but adults also work with us.

We have long experience in this and continuously develop our routines to offer a safe and well-functioning start in working life! Maybe you will be one of our stars this summer?

ABOUT YOU

Many have their very first summer job with us. 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 do 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 be born in 2012 or earlier (referring to the Work Environment Authority's legislation regarding work for children and young people).

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 get to ALL fields with your own vehicle or a ride at the designated start time (taking the bus has proven not to work 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 DUTIES & HOURS

As a weed remover, you help organic carrots and onions compete against weeds. You lie on specially built machines that slowly move over the rows where 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 present in the field who are responsible.

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

The weed removal lasts about 1 month, from mid/late June to mid/late July. (For those who are not in school, there may be 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 for the last date of application, as there is a risk that you will be too late.
