Activities & Shift
We will detail the activities and shifts in which you will help us so that you have all the necessary information!
Our shifts are divided into 4 days a week and leaving 3 days completely free!
The tasks we need help with are Housekeeping & Reception! We have a help document to guide you through each task that needs to be done. Nothing will be difficult and we will give you everything you need to do them in the most comfortable way possible!
It is important that you feel comfortable at all times and that you feel listened to so that you can give your best. We are looking for a person who is proactive, who likes to do things well and who helps create a good energy throughout the house!
Rules
It's important that you feel free! I have experience since I volunteered 7 times and I was in your place many times. I have been a hostel manager for 4 years and I have received 300 volunteers and all of them have had a good experience leaving good reviews.
It is important from our place to describe some rules to make sure that everyone feels good during this experience:
- Enjoy the experience. You have traveled here to have a good time and take home unique memories!
- Be happy. Joy is contagious and if we all manage to be on the same wavelength, we will make the month unforgettable!
- Be tidy at all times with your belongings. You will share a room with other people on the team and each one has a different culture!
- Be receptive. Maybe we will correct you or tell you if something is not right, but we will never do it in a bad way, you will be with us to help us. We will never treat you as an employee but as a volunteer who comes to exchange their desire to help for a nice experience!
- Take care of the spaces. We are constantly improving our hostel and that takes a lot of effort and money.
- Give it your best. This applies to this experience and to your entire life, when you give it your best, you leave a mark, doors open and new opportunities are created. We want to remember you and miss you when the day comes to leave us!
We will do everything possible to make sure you have a great experience at North Surf House πβ
Host in high demand at the moment
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
