Our receptionists are the first people you see when entering the hostel so we want friendly, outgoing people to welcome our guests!

Activities & Shift

You'll have 3 shifts a week: mornings (8am-2pm), afternoons (2pm-8pm) or evenings (8pm-8am, whilst you sleep so you're not awake all night). We try to make the rota so everyone is happy and it fits with your exploration of Bath.

You'll do check-ins/check-outs and make beds. You'll answer simple emails and calls. You'll be super-friendly and helpful with guests, providing recommendations and directions. At any time, there is a manager on duty to help or support you.

You'll maintain a high standard of cleanliness in common areas. You'll help us improve our hostel bit by bit!

It'll be fun!

Rules

The total of hours/week won't exceed 18h.
We try to be as accommodating as possible with the schedule.
We ask all our volunteers to be helpful and friendly with guests, even when not on shifts! We expect you to be inviting guests on activities, which can be walks, nights out, activities, etc.
