We are seeking enthusiastic and hardworking individuals to join our team in 2024. All positions listed below are seasonal and run from mid May through September.

JOIN OUR TEAM

Our Mission

The West End aims to serve the Fishers Island community by providing quality food & drink while creating a welcoming “third space.” We are a high-volume summer business but try to prioritize sustainability as much as possible, sourcing eggs, milk, greens, and more from local & regenerative farmers. We are as passionate about limiting food waste as we are about building community.

Our Location

Fishers Island is part of Suffolk County, New York but is located closer to the coastline of Connecticut. The island is accessed via ferry service from New London, CT. The majority of our team is hired from the tristate area, and housing is provided on the island (at a subsidized rate). For applicants from the New London/Mystic area who plan to commute, a subsidy for ferry transport is available.
