About the employer

Its team serves international leisure travellers, families, wedding groups and corporate guests.

Working in Fiji

Fiji offers hospitality, tourism, retail, construction, education, healthcare, marine activities and professional-service opportunities, with many resort jobs concentrated around Nadi, Denarau, Coral Coast, Suva and the Mamanuca Islands. Fijian culture is welcoming and community-focused, combining iTaukei traditions with Indo-Fijian influences. Respect for elders, village customs and traditional ceremonies is important. Life is generally relaxed, outdoors-oriented and centred on beaches, markets, family and sport, although imported goods and transport can be costly. Viti Levu provides the widest access to shops, hospitals and services; resort locations may feel more remote. Foreign nationals normally need an approved work permit before taking employment, usually arranged with employer support, and should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm current immigration rules, accommodation, transport, healthcare and contract benefits before relocating.
