Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: Holden’s staffing page contains a decisive restriction: general Fall/Winter 2026 in-village applications are suspended during temporary closure, except for specifically posted roles. It still identifies carpenter volunteer and utilities-lead employee needs. The usual volunteer and employee benefits differ, and its general staff FAQ should not be used to promise a normal retreat season. This remains a credible remote facilities/caretaker lead for appropriately skilled people, with the exact current crew conditions confirmed first. The village also says there is no Fall 2026 work week and cannot currently accommodate families with children.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
