We are a cooperative of two partners who run hospitality in the village of Ruesta. We are looking for volunteers to help us with the management of our hostel-bar-restaurant during the summer season. It is a hostel with 58 beds, and we mainly need help in the kitchen, customer service and cleaning of our premises. This is the third year we have used the Worldpackers platform and we love sharing with volunteers what we consider our home and our village. We would like to welcome people who are nearby and flexible, who are interested in rural life and living in sparsely populated areas. It is important to be clear that in Ruesta we are the only inhabitants, and there is no service or public transportation, so getting around to tour the area is somewhat complex. Ruesta is a perfect place to connect with yourself, with nature and with the rural, and to have free time for your hobbies or interests. If you consider yourself a person with an interest in rural life, eager to learn and to join a fun team, this is your volunteer opportunity 😊
Main tasks to be carried out will be:
- Kitchen assistant
- Customer service during the service at the cafeteria, restaurant, and bar.
- Cleaning of rooms and the different spaces of our hostel
We propose daily shifts of 5 hours of collaboration, with 5 days of work and 2 days off.
We require a minimum stay of one month to ensure learning and adaptation to the team.
As we have already explained, we are the only inhabitants in this village, so sometimes living, working and relating with the same people all the time can be a bit intense, which is why we need volunteers to commit to bringing their best disposition for the work and convivence with the rest of the team and among themselves. We consider ourselves flexible people and willing to listen, so do not hesitate to tell us whatever, and we will see how we can solve it together.
For us it is very important to work under ethical and moral values associated with respect and empathy.
For us, it is also very important to be able to have clear, natural and direct communication between the team.
We accept couples or duos, but we cannot guarantee joint days off for these people due to the little staff we have in our hostel.
Volunteers will have a room for the team and will be responsible for their cleaning and organization.
From the managing cooperative we cover full-board meals, as well as access to the hostel services, shared bathroom, laundry (the latter with certain rules and schedules).
