Find the most enjoyable summer job!

 We have now opened recruitment for summer 2026. We look forward to receiving your application!

Why work during the summer?

Because it's crazy fun!

A summer job is the start of an exciting journey, and in our experience, we would say that a summer job is the first step out of the nest. It is an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy the privilege of working with others. Taking responsibility, supporting each other, and always striving to give guests that little extra something extra usually comes naturally.

In any case, you don't need to have every conceivable skill. We place the greatest emphasis on you being curious, wanting to learn new things, and enjoying a fast pace.

During the summer, you will learn skills in areas such as customer service, teamwork, CPR, and cashier duties.

We have lots of different fun jobs – from attractions, shops, restaurants, and cafés to accommodation, maintenance, service, and parks.

Think about what you enjoy doing and what you want to develop. Do you like being the "face" of the company, meeting people, and spreading joy? Then you're a perfect fit for our guest-facing roles. Do you want everything to run smoothly behind the scenes? Then housekeeping might be the best fit for you.

All our jobs are important – it is together that we create that magical summer feeling for our guests.

Our salaries vary depending on position, responsibilities, and age. We follow collective agreements and always disclose salary information in connection with employment.

 

For some of our seasonal employees who come from the mainland, we are able to offer staff accommodation right next to Kneippbyn's Summer Waterland. It is always an advantage if you already have accommodation on Gotland. Here you will live together with other colleagues close to work, the sea, and all the fun things happening in the area.
The accommodation is simple and standard, and we work every year to make it even better.

For certain roles, we invite candidates to a group interview. These are usually relaxed and informal, giving you the chance to show who you are and how you think in different situations. We want to see how you work in a team, as the whole of Kneippbyn is based on team spirit and enjoyment.
Think less "interview" and more "meet us and see if we're a good fit for each other."

 

Before the season starts, we hold an orientation day for all employees.
You’ll learn about guest interactions, safety, procedures, and our culture, as well as how we work together to create magical worlds for unforgettable summer memories.
During the season, you’ll receive support from your department and have the opportunity to grow in your role.

During the summer, we have about 240 employees who together manage everything from attractions and accommodations to food, maintenance, and the park.
During the winter, we have around 16 people who work year-round.
This means you’ll become part of a big family where everyone greets everyone else—regardless of your role or department.

You apply for the job via our website.

We review all applications and select candidates for interviews.

The interview takes place digitally, by telephone or on site, and sometimes in groups.

We will contact you afterwards with a decision and, if applicable, an employment contract.

When everything is ready, you will receive an invitation to our pre-season introduction.

We try to stay in touch throughout the process so you know what's happening, and we're counting down the hours until we open for the season and it's time to get to work.

We assist with everything from planning to implementation.
