We’re are renovating this old property by ourselves and with the help of volunteers! We’ve been welcoming people for over a year now and we love the exchange of skills and stories.
With a massive property, a renovation project (we are converting one of the barns into a holiday cottage), a future business to plan for, a large vegetable garden, way too many animals and two young children, we need all the help we can get!
Right now what we’re mainly searching for is a right-hand-woman/man to help Lucy in the house. With getting the kids what they need, making coffee and meals for volunteers, cleaning up and keeping the house tidy, she has no time to work on all the administration needed for the project and future business.
So we’re looking for someone with great initiative who is happy to take some of that workload off of Lucy so she can get some other work done.
Our veggie garden has been wonderfully productive this year, so we’re also looking for help with harvesting and preserving veg (we are very new at this so we can try together if you’ve not done any preserving before!). Plus our menagerie of animals always needs feeding.
In exchange you’ll become part of the family here. We’ll eat lunch and dinner together on work days, and we’ll include you in any activities we do that we think you’d enjoy. This area is breathtaking and we’ll make sure you get out for walks and excursions to make the most of it.
In terms of accommodation, we usually host volunteers in our caravan but at the moment we have someone staying long term. Theres a possibility it will be available for your dates but we’ll discuss this during your application. We have recently built a ‘volunteer pod’ in one of the barns - a little den made of wood with double mattress, plug socket and a light. It will have a little heater in winter but think of it a bit like ‘glamping’, rather than an inside room in a house! Campervans also welcome. You’ll have access to our downstairs toilet and a hot outdoor shower.
Breakfast is provided in the form of groceries in our outdoor sheltered kitchen, whilst lunch and dinners are shared together on workdays. Our main chill out area is also outside - obviously with the weather changing it will be getting cold so for this position to be right for you you will need to be happy being outside even when it’s cold! We’ve put a wood burner and a sofa in one of the barns to have somewhere sheltered to hang out one the colder months.
We are very rural, 5 mins drive from a little village with a shop and bar, and 15 mins from a bigger town with all the amenities you might need (Aínsa). Our nearest transport hub is Barbastro (50 mins away).
Examples of volunteer tasks for this role:
Mornings -
feeding the animals
walking the dogs
Harvesting veg
helping make coffee for morning coffee break
Helping prepare lunch
Afternoons-
tidying up lunch
Helping give the house a clean/tidy if necessary
Preserving veg
Helping prepare dinner
Our main rule is that we all respect each other and communicate openly - if something doesn’t feel right let’s talk about it and try and find a solution!
Watch language around the children
Tidy up after yourself and respect the fact that this is our home.
