End-of-Season and Close-Up Pelican Positions Available

April 6th, 2007

Interested in joining the 2007 Pelican community?

Star Island Corporation hires nearly 100 seasonal positions each year—people who hold these positions are called “Pelicans.” We are now accepting applications for end-of-season and close-up positions.

Towards the end of our conference season, many Pelican positions open up due to staff members with outside obligations (returning to school, etc.). The majority of the end-of-season openings are between mid-August and mid-September. Preference is given to those who can work the greatest amount of time.

Close-up will begin on September 18 and run through the end of October. Priority is given to applicants with specific work experience needed to close the conference center. Those skills range from housekeeping to maintenance. Ability to work independently and to make mature decisions is necessary.

Applicants should be 18 years of age or older, although during the end-of-season we will consider 16 and 17 year olds.

Positions may be filled on a rolling basis; the final deadline for applications is Monday, July 16th, 2007. The application is available in downloadable PDF format or as an online form from our Seasonal Jobs page.


Star Island is one of the rocky, wind-swept Isles of Shoals, located off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire. For over 100 years, summers here have provided individuals and families with a welcome respite from their busy mainland lives.

Star Island Corporation is a nonprofit organization which maintains the island and its facilities and provides hospitality services for visitors.
