About Lakeview:

Lakeview is a beautiful, rural town in Oregon's high desert. With a population of just over 2,000, it offers a slower pace of life, plenty of sunshine, outdoor recreation, and a close-knit community. Hunting, fishing, camping, and skiing are common pastimes. The nearest larger cities are Alturas, CA (45 min) and Klamath Falls, OR (90 min). This Is a Bivocational PositionDue to limited financial resources, this is a bivocational role. Candidates will need to have or pursue additional employment or be retired with supplemental income.
