Housing Included Jobs - What Are They and How to Get One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

Careers with included housing are most common in the hospitality and camping industry, but there are also seasonal positions in nursing and teaching, such as working at an international school or a boarding school that provides accommodations for workers. In hospitality and camping, you may work at a resort during the high season or off-season. You maintain the grounds and complete any repairs. Campground hosts may bring their housing, such as an RV or a trailer, to live in, but in many cases, the company may provide you with housing. International and boarding schools typically provide housing in exchange for working in a dorm or performing other extracurricular duties.

The qualifications to get a job with included housing depend on the field in which you work and your responsibilities. If you teach at a boarding school, you need to have at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. You also need experience with coaching or extracurricular activities. Similar requirements exist at international schools, although some may require additional certifications. Resorts or campgrounds that require live-in workers typically require you to have strong maintenance skills, groundskeeping experience, and good customer service skills. Nurses who commute to travel assignments should have completed a bachelor's in nursing and registered in the state in which they were.
