Program Details
We would love for you to do both the night and day shift, but in case you can only do the day shift, that is also fine. Our preference is for someone who can do both though, as that gives us more flexibility.
Extra info: we need the help due to vacations of our regular employees. The hours will therefore be focused in 1 or 2 weeks, and the other weeks will be less hours. So it's not neccesarily 25 hours exactly per week, but it will be an average of 25 hours a week.
Because the first week may be completely free, depending on your arrival date, we ask for a deposit of 150 euro, which you'll get back if you complete the whole stay.
Activities & Shift
As a receptionist, the whole hostel is your responsibility during your shift. You are not only responsible for the guest experience, although that is the most important of course, but also to keep the lobby and kitchen clean, as well as doing rounds to maintain the tidiness of the bathrooms and showers. Depending on the shift, these tasks weigh more (for instance, during night shift there is not a lot to do in the guest experience area, but more to do in the cleaning area.)
