You'll help around 25 hours per week, mainly with:
- Preparing simple, healthy meals for the family.
- Helping with meal prep and keeping the kitchen tidy after cooking.
- Occasionally assisting with light household tasks related to the kitchen or daily family life.
This role is not a childcare position. While you'll naturally be around the children, your main responsibility is helping us with cooking and making our daily routine a little easier during this exciting time for our family.
We'd love to host someone who is:
- Comfortable cooking simple, healthy, homemade meals.
- Organized, clean, and enjoys spending time in the kitchen.
- Independent and able to take initiative.
- Friendly, respectful, and happy to be around a family environment and guests.
In exchange for your help, you'll receive:
- Accommodation in our volunteer house, shared with other hostel volunteers.
- Breakfast at the hostel every day.
- Two family-style dinners per week with our hostel guests.
- Free use of our surf equipment whenever it's available.
- Free surf lessons whenever there is space in the groups.
- Plenty of free time to explore the beaches, hike, surf, and enjoy everything Sagres has to offer.
- The chance to experience everyday Portuguese family life while being part of an international hostel community.
