JOB OFFER: WE ARE LOOKING FOR A HORSE CARETAKER / ALL-ROUNDER FOR OUR RED CARIBOO RESORT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA 

The Red Cariboo Resort is looking for a horse caretaker/all-rounder from spring 2027 onwards.
 
Would you like to work with horses in the Canadian wilderness? Do you like being outside? Are you good with people and not afraid to get dirty? Then, our guests and the Red Cariboo team look forward to meeting you!
 
You work with and on the horses (riding out, working in the riding arena, etc.; see details below). For this voluntary work, we pay a $ 1,000 monthly allowance for your food. Accommodation is provided free of charge. In addition, there are often tips from the guests who booked rides.
 
We may need your support with housekeeping, making/stacking firewood, serving as a waiter from summer onwards, and simple help in the kitchen. We pay $20 for this working time, including statutory holidays and 4% holiday pay.

Do you enjoy living and working in the pristine, remote Anahim Lake/BC wilderness region? If you can work in a team, learn, and are enthusiastic, committed, reliable, and friendly, please get in touch with us.

Knowing that your living costs are much lower in our remote area than in a city like Vancouver or an area with much more infrastructure is essential.
All these points make it attractive to keep your savings, and you get lots of other benefits, too, like our beautiful nature.
 
After your shifts or during your weekends, you have time to do a lot of sightseeing, hiking, relaxing at the lake, fishing in a canoe, or riding one of our horses. During the wintertime, you can go ice fishing or cross-country skiing, and even a small ski hill is nearby. Everything is possible out here. Having the time of your life is guaranteed!

To be employed with us, you need a valid work permit and a SIN. For more information about “work and travel” in Canada, click here.

Please remember that we are located in a remote region, Anahim Lake, BC. Take a look at the map and keep that in mind when applying. The nearest town is Williams Lake, which is about 320 km away. There is Wi-Fi and cell service at the resort, but not throughout the region or everywhere on Highway 20.
 
We try to hire everyone in their own profession. However, applicants must agree to learn and perform activities outside their core competencies.

We are happy to offer you this exciting job opportunity at our small resort. This role is perfect for a medium- to long-term work-and-travel stay of at least 3 months. We ask for your understanding that, unfortunately, we cannot support short-term stays of only 1 or 2 months, as this creates too much administrative work for our team.

If you are suitable for this job and would like to work in an almost untouched nature, where elk and grizzly bears are common, we look forward to receiving your application (cover letter, CV, picture, certificates, etc.) by email.
 
If you have any questions or would like more information, do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
