RECRUITMENT
Working
in the Arctic
We want everyone to enjoy being part of our team here at Canterbury Travel, but we understand it is not for everyone. We are searching for individuals with prior experience dealing with guests, working outside and in demanding positions.
Our roles are exciting and are a lot of fun for people who work well under pressure.
What to expect
The roles we offer within Canterbury Travel are very bespoke but come hand in hand with an unforgettable experience. Our season is based in the Arctic which of course comes with amazing views, heaps of snow and the opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis.
We want everyone to be prepared that it is not the easiest of places to work. With Sub-zero temperatures, polar nights and a limited social life, can be no issue at all when combatted appropriately.
You will have the chance to ask any questions you may have within the application process, and we will give you any more information you may need if you are successful.
