Safari Elf - Lapland Safaris

Lapland Staff is looking for Safari Elves for the winter season – A unique role next door to Santa Claus Office in Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi, Lapland.

Do you believe in Christmas magic? Do you have an adventurous spirit, a love for nature, and a twinkle in your eye?

We are looking for enthusiastic, story-loving, and adventure-ready individuals to join our world as Safari Elf – a brand-new role that combines the skills of a safari guide with the heart and soul of Santa’s Elf.

To be a great Safari Elf, we expect you to be accustomed to being outdoors regardless of the weather and to maintain a positive attitude even on long and busy days. Your workdays are rarely the same, and a working day can consist of one or several different tasks.

In addition to outdoor work, variation to your days comes from indoor clothing maintenance and sales work - and elfing of course! You’ll also drive guests to and from activities by car.

As a Safari Elf, you will:

• Live a life of an Elf – tell enchanting stories, spark imaginations, and create unforgettable moments for guests of all ages
• Set the scene for magical experiences, from cozy campfires in the forest to snowmobile trails under the northern lights
• Guide snowmobile safaris, snowshoe treks, and other winter adventures through the breathtaking nature of Lapland
• Introduce guests to Santa’s trusted huskies and reindeer
• Work outdoors in a Christmas-themed activity area, welcoming and guiding visitors

Our training is built on knowledge, skill, and safety, and is conducted in English. You will also receive role-specific training to prepare you fully – both as a guide and as an Elf – before stepping into your first adventure.

In addition, please note that in order to work in Finland, an EU-citizenship/passport or valid working permit to Finland is required. 

Kindly notice, that we we only process applications received through our application form from our website, and we do not accept applications received by e-mail or other channels.

For further information, please contact info@laplandstaff.fi. We are here to help!
