What we offer
We offer:

What we expect
We expect volunteers who are:
• Responsible
• Punctual

• With good teamwork
Important
This is a calm and organized work environment. We are not a party hostel. We seek committed people who truly want to make a fair exchange of help for accommodation.
Activities are varied and organized according to the inn's needs and current occupancy. The volunteer will mainly help in the cleaning areas and support for breakfast.
The tasks may include:
• Cleaning and organizing the rooms
• Cleaning of the common areas
• Support in the preparation and organization of breakfast
• Basic washing up of breakfast dishes
• Replenishment of items when necessary
• Small day-to-day general supports of the inn
The activities rotate to maintain a dynamic and fair routine among volunteers.
Work shifts
Shifts can vary between morning and early afternoon, depending on the day's needs. Usually breakfast support occurs in the morning and cleaning activities soon after guest check-out.
Volunteer hours:
• 5 hours per day.
• 5 days a week,
• 2 days off per week
The schedule is planned in advance whenever possible.
We seek flexible people who are willing to help in the different operational areas of a pousada.
Rules
To maintain a pleasant environment for everyone (guests, volunteers, and staff), please pay attention to the following rules:
• Do tasks with responsibility and attention to detail
• Always leave spaces clean and organized after work
• Respect the agreed times
• Notify in advance if there is a problem or delay
• Maintain good teamwork and getting along with the team and other volunteers
• Take care of the facilities and materials of the pousada
• Entry is not permitted to people who are not staying at the pousada.
Commitment to work quality
We work in hospitality, so the quality of work directly impacts the guests' experience and also the work of other volunteers.
Therefore we expect that:
• If you are cleaning a room, the cleaning is done with attention and care
• If something is not done well, the volunteer should be willing to correct it
• Each person is responsible for the quality of their work
• There should be collaboration among everyone to keep the pousada functioning well
We do not seek perfection, but commitment, responsibility and willingness to do the job well.
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 :)
