Needed: Dog Handler/Housekeeper
Resort: Arctic Chalet
Location: Inuvik, Northwest Territories
The Arctic Chalet is a beautifully landscaped eco-friendly, non-smoking Christian tourist establishment located near Inuvik in the Canadian Arctic, Northwest Territories. We offer beautiful clean cabin accommodations as well as rental cars and a variety of adventure tours. ArcticChalet.com
If you are physically fit and adventurous and would be interested in joining our staff starting this winter from mid-February to the end of April or through the summer, this opportunity might be right for you. We also have an opening just for summer work from June to the end of August or through September 2026. If you want to experience all of the Arctic seasons please let us know and we may also have a longer term position available.
This work offer involves two aspects, a part-time paid position, providing you have a valid Canadian work permit, combined with a volunteer position. The paid work involves mostly pay for work in housekeeping and other duties related to our tourism business. The volunteer aspect involves working with the dogs in exchange for free accommodations including all utilities and internet access. We are also open to taking on full-time VOLUNTEERS for a short time.
If you are hardworking and have a spirit of adventure we will be happy to welcome you to our establishment and to share some Arctic activities with you. You can go hiking, fishing and canoeing right from the property and we will occasionally take you into town for cultural events. Best of all, we will take you all the way north to the Arctic Ocean sometime during your stay. So why not experience working in the real Arctic for a few months or perhaps even up to a year, this may be the unforgetable place you are looking for.
Please have a look at our web site to see what we are all about and then carefully read the information on our WORK page to see if this opportunity might be a good fit for you. The next step is to send us the requested information as outlined on the WORK page of our site and then email Judi at: Judi@arcticchalet.com
