Program Details

The first shift is from 8:30 to 13:30. In this shift breakfasts are prepared and the hostel is cleaned. There is a checklist of the activities we perform during this shift; all of them must be completed.
The other shift starts at 15:00 and ends at 20:00. In this shift you have to dry sheets, finish cleaning, and do the check-ins of arriving guests. This shift may have night hours since we receive people until 1:00 a.m. This shift can be divided into different hours according to the day's needs and the arrival of the people.
We receive people in two different houses; it is possible that one of the shifts could be in the other house, which is less than 2 km from the main place.


Activities & Shift

1) From 8:30 to 13:30
2) It varies between 15:00 and 23:00. They may not be 5 consecutive hours.
Generally the work schedule corresponds to numbers 1 and 2. Depending on the day's needs, the schedules may undergo modifications. For the second shift, it may be non-continuous depending on the arrival times of the guests.
The volunteer needs to be aware that the schedules are flexible.
The shifts can be defined day by day depending on the needs.
If a client arrives at 15:00 and a second client arrives at 23:00, the volunteer must receive both people. This means that they may take free time between the two arriving clients.
If you need, you have the mindset of an employee who starts at 15 and ends at 20; I advise you to look for a place elsewhere and not continue your application here.


Rules

Smoking is prohibited in the hostel.
Punctuality with the schedules is required.
Anyone who does not follow the rules is obliged to leave; normally we give 24 hours for them to organize themselves.
