Seasonal work also available in winter – online event aims to attract seasonal workers to Lapland
When talking about seasonal work, most people only think of summer jobs, but seasonal work is also available in winter. The Work in Lapland online event aims to attract jobseekers to Lapland from other parts of Finland and the world.
Many employers in Northern Finland and Lapland are looking for seasonal workers for the winter season. In addition, extra help is especially needed in the restaurant sector for the Christmas season all around Finland. Now is a great time to send job applications for seasonal work in winter.
Have you already looked at the seasonal vacancies in Job Market Finland? There are also a number of other recruitment sites on the web where you can browse seasonal jobs. You can also find hidden jobs if you look into the businesses in your area and contact them. You can approach businesses by email and ask if they need seasonal workers. In addition, you should make use of personal relationships.

If you are a jobseeker with TE Services, you may be entitled to pay subsidy, which you should mention to the employer.
If you get a job outside your municipality of residence, you can apply for a commuting and relocation allowance from Kela or your unemployment fund. To receive the commuting and relocation allowance, you have to be on unemployment security before the start of the employment relationship and move for work to a place that is so far away that your daily commute would be over three hours from your original municipality of residence.
