the farewell Team
Have you thought about a career as a wildlife viewing guide or in lodge-based hospitality?Our staff come with a variety of previous experience but we all share a common passion: a deep love for nature, especially the Broughton Archipelago and Great Bear Rainforest, its remarkable wildlife and the people we work with.
We offer positions in guiding, lodge operations, housekeeping, guest services and in our kitchen. Our season runs from the end of May until mid October, with our peak season being mid July to mid October. While we are very fortunate that most of our incredible team returns year after year, we occasionally see adventurous souls head off to explore new corners of the world. If you're passionate about wildlife, wild places, and making connections with people, we'd love to hear from you. We typically begin hiring in November and December for the upcoming season. Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you are interested in joining us!
