We are URGENTLY looking for a proactive, responsible person with good physical condition who enjoys manual work, using tools, and outdoor projects. If you are passionate about building, learning new skills and living an experience in contact with nature, we would love to welcome you.
The main project consists of building from scratch a shed for laying hens. The tasks include building the base with bricks, raising the structure, installing the mesh, placing the roof, preparing the ground with sand and installing drinkers and feeders. You will also assist with feeding and daily care of the pullets, ensuring their welfare.
Depending on the project\'s needs, you will also be able to collaborate in gardening, maintenance of green areas, vegetable garden and regenerative agriculture, cleaning and general maintenance of the property, as well as in the preparation and maintenance of our Airbnb accommodation to receive guests.
We are looking for a strong, organized person with initiative and basic experience using hand or power tools. Knowledge in construction, carpentry, agriculture or maintenance is valued, although a positive attitude, willingness to learn and love for animals are equally important.
In exchange, we offer you a private, standalone room with private bathroom and air conditioning, access to an outdoor kitchen fully equipped, hammock area, BBQ area and a peaceful environment surrounded by nature. We will be available to support you throughout your stay and, when possible, we can help you with transport to the city. We are located just five minutes from Santa Marta, with easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, beaches and other points of interest.
Our goal is that this exchange is enriching for both parties, sharing knowledge, culture and a more sustainable lifestyle.
Shifts and schedule
Volunteer work is from Monday to Friday, 4 hours per day.
In the mornings: the main work will be building the chicken shed, including masonry, carpentry, mesh installation and roof, ground preparation and other project activities.
When needed, after midday you can provide occasional support to the host in the preparation of the Airbnb to receive guests. These tasks may include dusting, cleaning bathrooms and kitchen, sweeping, mopping, making beds, sweeping leaves and keeping the terraces, the BBQ area and the laundry area clean.
Afternoons are free, except when this occasional support with the accommodation is required. Saturdays and Sundays are completely free to rest or enjoy Santa Marta and its surroundings.
Norms and expectations
We expect a responsible, respectful, honest person with a good attitude for teamwork. It is important to meet the agreed schedules, take care of tools, keep the spaces used clean and organized and treat the animals with affection and respect.
We value initiative, open communication and the desire to learn. Please give advance notice if any issue arises or if you need to be away.
Smoking inside the rooms or hosting parties without authorization is not allowed. We expect the accommodation and common areas to be kept in good condition and that there is respect for the tranquility of the property, Airbnb guests and other household members.
