Your main tasks:
Assisting the chef during classes (passing ingredients, helping guests, setting up tools, tidy up)
Basic kitchen preparation (cutting vegetables, preparing trays and ingredients)
Keeping the space tidy before, during and after the session
Housekeeping or general venue care on non-class days and cleaning assistance during class-days
You will not be the one who does the actual cooking, just assisting.
You'll interact with travelers from around the world, so a friendly and open attitude is essential.
We offer breakfast on site, tailored to each participant's preferences and you are welcome to request whatever you would like. You'll also have access to the kitchen and ingredients to cook your own meals, and we offer flexible free days depending on our class schedule.
At the moment, we are only looking for 2 female participants.
The volunteers will be staying in a room (2 beds) at the cooking venue.
On class days:
Preparation of the space and ingredients
During the class, support the chef and guests, keep the space clean and organized
After class, assist with dishes (dishwasher available), sweep, help reset the space
On non-class days:
Organizing supplies, tidying balconies, or helping with the general housekeeping of the space
Shifts:
25 hours/week with 2 days off (flexible and upon discussion).
On the occasion when we might need your assistance outside of the specified schedule, we will balance it out by removing a day from next week, etc.
On days when there is only house cleaning there might be less hours per day, while on days when there are cooking classes there might be more hours per day, but the total amount will not exceed 25 hrs/week.
Respect shared hygiene and cleanliness standards. If not respected, we have the right as a host to terminate the experience.
No smoking.
Keep the kitchen clean and tidy.
If you want to use the kitchen area for a long time you may do this before or after the classes.
Please respect the space and keep it clean and tidy at all times. You’ll be sharing some common areas with the cooking class venue, so it's important not to leave any personal mess, especially when we're expecting guests.
When tidying up, please put everything back where it was and do not change the arrangement of things.
Do not throw trash or toilet paper in the toilet, there is a trash bin provided. Be mindful not to throw anything down the sink.
A detailed apartment guide is provided to all participants on the day of their arrival.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
