Do you want a summer job with a scythe and rake?

We work from July 11 until everything is done, sometimes all the way into November. However, extra work with clearing, meadow cleaning, and other nature care can be available during the season right from spring! So, the season can be long for those who want to be outdoors and work physically a lot, in the most beautiful natural environments, during the finest months of the year!

We manage about 50 hectares of valuable hay meadows by hand. It also includes quite a bit of brush clearing, done properly, that is, with cutting below the ground level.

We have been working with this since 2006 and have considerable expertise in the company. Besides pure contracting mowing, we manufacture scythe handles, sell scythe equipment, and run courses.

During the summer, we have base camps out in the meadows, camp in tents, cook together, swim, and wash outdoors. The longer you can work, the better, but short commitments of a week are also okay, especially if you already consider yourself proficient in the tasks.

The job is tough and demanding, with pay based on performance. The pace is generally high. Not everyone needs to be a top performer, but if you don't have a really good base fitness level, you might get tired easily. If you're skilled and well-trained, the pay can be quite high; in 2021, the best beginners earned over 300 SEK/hour. By well-trained, we mean, for example, those who can easily run a couple of miles in the woods and/or have another really physical job. It's important that your hands and wrists are used to the strain from hard work with tools. If you already train hard, such as running or orienteering, you have a great advantage from the start!

The work involves being away from home when you work; we also work over the weekends, but of course, you should and must take breaks and travel away sometimes!

Most of what we cut is in Östergötland, but we also work in Södermanland and northern Småland. Please contact us by phone at 0738-322559 or email info@slattergubben.se for interest and more information. You will then receive a document that describes the working conditions in more detail.
