VOLUNTEERS
Live-In Volunteer (Currently Full - Stay Tuned)
We are always looking out for the next volunteer as the season changes!!. On top of our amazing staff we also look for super fun and outgoing individuals who can keep the hostel vibe positive - an integral part of the hostel atmosphere as we often mentor, and often find OURSELVES being mentored.
Positions are staggered with a minimum 2 month commitment. The story goes something like this:
We are always searching for someone responsible with a great attitude and unique skill set! We love having new teammates help out however they can: Housekeeping, trades of all kinds (carpentry, building, tiling, plumbing), artistry and marketing in exchange for accommodation & great company.
Our main mandate is to get our guests out, having fun, and making sure everyone arrives without a hitch - so we need you to get out and explore too and rock our region! You will often bump into guests so might as well know how to start the conversation.
We keep an extremely clean environment and have very high standards that always make the following day's tasks easier as we remain diligent.
Each night one volunteer will need to be on-call solely in the case of an emergency after 8/10 PM (time dependent on season). Duties and preferred roles will be discussed in detail during inquiry and interview stage.
Your stay with us would be offset by your volunteer hours and breakfast is on us every morning. We have a family oriented staff who always find the fun in everything - guaranteed shared meals on the BBQ will be happening.
Our new volunteer would share a small but super cozy, two bed dormitory complete with desks with our amazing on-site Supervisor - Hanuman (Male). There may be opportunity for alternative accommodation. There is extra gear and warehouse storage on-site for any larger items you may have to store, and a locker and private bunk in the room.
