No'19 Kinsale
Help us with our Restaurant business, Working in Customer Service, Kitchen, cleaning and social media. We are in the heart of Kinsale town and so it's the real meeting point of the area, lots of chance to practice language skills and make new friends. Working just a few hours for 4-5 days a week gives you lots of chance to get out and explore.
Myself and Cristian both arrived into Ireland on volunteer work exchange programs and so we both know what it's like to be the volunteer in new surroundings and meeting new people. We have hosted in multiple platforms ever since we have had our own properties(West Cork).

About the experience in: Kinsale, Ireland
France
No training, no clear tasks, and daily shifts of 6–7 hours despite a 25h/week agreement. When I asked Sarah for a basic schedule and proper guidance, she became hostile, insulted my attitude, and kicked me out with less than 24h notice. I was yelled at for insisting on time to pack. This was an unprofessional and upsetting experience. I strongly advise future volunteers to contact 2025 volunteers before applying.

prior to arrival, the role, shifts & times business operates were communicated. As we state in our profile/jobs listing we are an evening restaurant and so shifts, late afternoons and evenings. Your first (and only) week was a 4 day week and so yes 25 hours per week divided by 4 shifts = 6.25 hours per shift.
You were given very clear, 1 on 1 training by myself, wines, service, glass wash. Cristian, kitchen layout, veg prep & team members you were shadowing each shift, wash up, cleaning.

It's been a really nice experience. I expected to practice english, and not only I did but also meet new people, share experiences and learn more skills.
Sarah help me a lot and had a lot of patience. I felt like in home, so I'm really grateful.

Los anfitriones fueron muy amables.
El trabajo no es pesado, pero si hay que estar muy atento.
El lugar es ideal para personas que disfrutan de caminatas y de la vista al mar.
