The experience

Hi there! We're a seaside hostel located in Strandhill, Co. Sligo, along the Wild Atlantic Way. We reopened under new management last year and had an amazing summer season with a great team! As we're heading into busier months, we're looking to expand our current team and appreciate your interest in checking out our listing.

We run a local surf school (Strandhill has a major surf scene!), so we tend to host many groups who are booked in to surf!

Program Details

We offer accommodation on-site at the hostel and lodge, as well as food (you have access to a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, and it's great to see volunteers sharing meals together). Rooms are private and include WIFI, bathroom facilities are shared amongst staff but don't fear, this works out just grand!

We are keeping an eye out for couples/pairs, basically anyone who would be open to sharing a room together.


Activities & Shift

Night Porting Shift starts from 8:30pm and finishes at 1:30am or 2:30am depending on how busy we are. You could have a few late check-ins to handle, some light housekeeping duties if the team was behind that day, and ensuring that hostel quiet hours are being adhered to (quiet hours begin at 10:30pm).
