A great opportunity to stay in exclusive Positano on the Amalfi Coast
Description
Hi,
We are looking for someone to come and stay at the hostel over the winter period. The hostel itself is closed, but we still have plenty to do. These jobs fit into a few distinct categories:
1. House sitting and dog walking.
2. Maintenance work - nothing complex.
3. Check guests into various apartments - even though the hostel is closed, we keep our a couple of apartments open.
We are looking for someone who has a track record in working autonomously, and loves dogs. Positano will be very quiet during this period, and so you'll also need to be be content in a quiet environment.

We will not always be in Positano. Up to 40% of the time, we will be elsewhere. During these periods, you will house sit, dog walk, and check in a few customers - it is historically very quiet from November to March. During this time, you will need to be flexible enough to be able to be around when guests are due to check in - the guests will provide an estimated arrival time.
When we are around, your day will be very straightforward. You'll only need to work a couple of hours, and will typically walk the dogs and do a little maintenance work.

Applications will need to be supported by an up to date CV/resume and references - we can provide an email address following initial application. We contact all references you give and ask them to provide a reference either in writing or over the 'phone. Success at this stage will lead to a Skype interview.
We are looking for someone who can commit to a long stay, as continuity will be very important. Ideally, we would like someone to stay from November to the end of March; as a minimum, we are looking for a two month stay.
Positano is a very beautiful part of the world, as is the entire Amalfi coast region. You'll get plenty of time to explore the area.
This opportunity will be ideal for someone who is looking to get away from it all, and who enjoys working independently.

I had a fantastic six weeks. Cristiana and Peter are great hosts and you quickly feel at home in this beautiful place. The work was fair and flexible. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I miss the evenings on the terrace, chatting with people from all over the world and enjoying the great food - especially Cristiana's homemade more
Tania is smart, hardworking, and super friendly. It was great to have Tania around, as she was always really positive and social - she gets on with everyone, and is very kind/good-natured. Tania primarily worked at reception, and was both a quick study, and accurate at performing this role. Thanks so much for coming to stay with us, and we wish more
I spent just under a month here and absolutely loved it. It is a stunning place filled with amazing people who quickly became like family. We spent many nights laughing with guests or relaxing on the beach and enjoying the amazing heat of Positano. The food is to die for, as is the atmosphere! So glad I came, wish it was for longer!
Brendon is a good natured and easy going guy, who is also very level headed. He was always enthusiastic and focused, and was great at learning new tasks - he was able to apply what he had learned very quickly, giving excellent customer service, and passing on what he had learnt to other team members. As such, we found Brendon to be a very good more

You will fall in love with Positano and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere here! For me the highlights of my stay were getting to know the other staff members and enjoying the views of the sea.
Be aware that almost everyone speaks english at the hostel. I was expecting to pick up some Italian and was a bit surprised--but I am still more than more

The past month has been the most wonderful month of my trip, mostly because of the amazing people I met and talked to while working at the hostel. I got attached to the place and didn't want to leave. The view from the terrace also strongly contributed to my attachment as it is not everyday that I get to bartend or sit with guests and absorb the more
Bianca is an experienced and capable worker in the hospitality field. She got on well with other members of staff, and was very reliable. Best wishes, Bianca - Peter and Cristiana.
Tilly has been excellent. Re-reading her workaway profile, I find it to be an excellent description of someone who been extremely good natured, smart, and with a very unpretentious/well balanced personality. Tilly's upbeat personality means that she fits well in a team environment, and when working by herself. Best wishes, Tilly - Peter and more
Jessica is good at multi-tasking and thinking on her feet. She also enjoys working to produce good quality results. We found Jessica able to work as part of a team or by herself equally well. Best wishes for you future travels, Jessica - Peter and Cristiana.

Hoku and Ricky were brilliant from start to finish. Very good with guests, conscientious, and great team members.
Cristiana, Peter, Kiki and Louie were amazing! Such great people, Kiki and Louie are their sweet puppies, that made sure you felt at home from the start. So sweet they even made my husband and I a birthday cake and got us a present for our birthdays... They go above and beyond. They were so amazing that we consider them family because that is how more
