Hostel worker wanted NEW HOSTEL in PORTUGAL

Hostel worker wanted BALEAL, PORTUGAL

Us:
We are a brand new hostel, opening at the beginning of July, in Baleal, Portugal, just 5 minutes walk from the beach. We have 3 rooms (2 dorms and a private suite) with a maximum capacity of 10 people. We have a ´green´ approach to work and life and in an effort to minimise our carbon footprint we have handmade almost everything in the hostel, from the furniture to the decoration! We will grow our own fruit and vegetables in the garden, from which we´ll make juice, and guests can enjoy freshly home-baked bread with their breakfast each day.

The job:
The job will mainly comprise of housekeeping- cleaning the hostel, making beds, laundry etc- and perhaps helping out with breakfast occasionally and general hostel duties such as looking after the guests. In exchange for accommodation, breakfast, extra food, and free yoga, the candidate will work 6 hours a day, split shifts, but quite flexible. The accommodation is not in the hostel, but in a private house 5 minutes walk away. We would preferably like someone to start as soon as we open in July, until at least October but potentially longer.

The area:
Baleal is a bustling little village, an hour north of Lisbon, which fills to the brim each summer with tourists from all over the world. Located on a peninsular, Baleal is surrounded by miles and miles of beautiful coastline to the north, south and west, and is the best spot in Europe for surfing, attracting surfers from all over, year long. There are several bars, restaurants and a supermarket, all within easy walking distance from the hostel.

The candidate:
We are looking for someone flexible who isn´t afraid to get stuck into any job that needs to get done, with excellent customer service skills and positive and fun approach to life. Hostel experience is not necessary but experience of working in the hospitality industry is preferred.
