While nobody likes working for Christmas we've found the one job we'd be willing to make an exception for.
A Finnish travel company is looking to hire full-time elves for the Christmas period.
Lapland Safaris has now opened applications for Christmas elf roles, where you will get paid to transform into an elf for the Christmas season.
Safari has said :“The work of the Elves is independent, even though there may be colleagues working in the same place at the same time.
“In practice, one Christmas Elf is responsible for one group of customers. The bus Elf is responsible for the agreed timetable, for leading the right customers to the right bus and for informing the customers about the most important things.
“The bus Elf knows well the place where the customers are taken and is able to tell them where to go and what to do. An Elf is at the same time an entertainer, a guide and a mythical creature of Christmas.”
The company are looking for energetic, outgoing and positive people to apply for the position.
As the elves work in an international environment, being able to speak a few languages is an advantage.
The job specification states “good oral skills in English are essential and other language skills (French/Spanish/German) are advantageous.”
But, you can't just become an elf overnight and anyone who is lucky enough to get the job will take part in “Arctic Hospitality Guide training”, which includes learning the "required elfing and communication skills" to help you become the best and most spirited communicator out there.
