Established workplaceCurrent opening not confirmed
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: KLT’s surviving advertisement is for an independent contractor caring for two rustic streamside rental cabins, not an employee or a concessionaire operating an entire park. Tasks include cleaning between guests, monitoring off-grid systems, removing waste and reporting problems. The notice gives an hourly rate and booking-dependent workload, but has no clear season year and retains old COVID language. It proves a useful nonprofit cabin-caretaking model; current availability and the contractual terms need fresh confirmation. No resident accommodation is offered in the text.
Staffing evidence: A past notice names this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
