Activities & Shift
Your tasks will be light and straightforward:
🛏️ Bed prep: guests make their own beds, so you’ll just swap out the dirty sheets for fresh ones.
🧹 Cleaning: bathrooms, kitchen, floors, and trash.
👋 Check-ins: most of the process is automated, but nothing beats a friendly welcome from a real person.
🌟 Extra help: occasionally, small tasks may come up depending on guest needs.
We make sure the workload is fair, never too hard, and with plenty of time to relax and enjoy Sofia.
On a typical week, you will have:
- two or three shifts in the early afternoon preparing beds and cleaning around thee hostel
- 4 or 5 very short shifts in the evening being available for check-ins and tidying up the kitchen
- 2 consecutive days off
On average, you’ll help no more than 20 hours per week, with 2 consecutive days off. Some days are busier, others very relaxed — but every day brings something different! ✨
Rules
📱 Keep your phone handy and charged during shifts.
🍻 Stay sober and alert while working.
😃 Be open-minded, friendly, and positive.
🔄 Flexibility: shift swaps are possible if you ask in advance.
