For the 2024/2025 winter season, we need to strengthen our team in the ski patrol at Gausta Ski Center. We are now looking for a responsible and reliable individual with good skiing skills, who is eager to assist ski guests who are injured at the resort. As part of the ski patrol at Gausta Ski Center, you will be our foremost ambassador for ensuring the safety of our ski guests.

As a ski patrol team member, you are an essential part of the safety efforts at Gausta Ski Center. You will be working in a large ski resort with 35 slopes, 13 lifts, a children's area, and a terrain park. Safety is our top priority, but with up to 3,000 ski guests visiting in a single day, various types of accidents can occur. As part of the ski patrol, you will encounter many situations that require you to stay calm, work methodically, and take responsibility for the injured, their relatives, and other affected parties. You will be a crucial and highly visible ambassador for safety at Gausta Ski Center and the destination as a whole.

About the position:

• Provide first aid and assist injured guests in the ski resort during Gausta Ski Center's opening hours.
