Housekeeping, Waitstaff, Kitchen, Hospitality jobs available - Star Island, NH

Star Island is a non-profit organization that hosts summer camps and conferences on 43-acre Star Island, one of the Isles of Shoals 10 miles off the coast of Portsmouth, NH. We employ over 100 people, (known as “Pelicans”), who perform jobs ranging from maintaining guest rooms and bathrooms to waiting on family-style tables to food preparation. Employment on Star Island is suitable for couples and for people coming out individually.

Room and board is provided at no cost; accommodations are basic and dormitory-style, with shared bathrooms. Couples have the ability to room together. Wi-Fi is accessible in all living spaces.

Camps/conferences address subjects such as natural history, international affairs, environmental protection, the arts, and island history. Pelicans work 6 days (approximately 42 hours) per week and have the option to spend their weekly day off on the island or visiting historic Portsmouth New Hampshire on the mainland for the day. Many Pelicans return year after year, and being a Pelican has been cited as one of the top ten jobs in New England. Most Pelicans love working and living on Star Island and make friendships and professional connections that last a lifetime.
