Description
Hi. Welcome to the friendly desert. I'm Uri and I manage a beautiful eco desert lodge situated in a valley in the Negev heights. We host local travellers as well as tourists from all around the world who are looking to take a break from hectic everyday life.
I'm looking for young and diligent people to join our lively crew. You can combine working and enjoying the open desert spaces. We provide you with a room and food (sometimes eating together the delicious food of our guesthouse and sometimes cooking for yourselves with products that we provide).
Beautiful sunsets and starlit nights are promised.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our staff consists of 5-10 employees who live in the lodge and are involved in everything that has to do with hosting our guests.
Our staff members consist of locals as well as people from different corners of the world. This means that there is a special atmosphere among our employees, which we believe is an integral part of the place's atmosphere.
The working environment is friendly with good conditions and we take into account the needs of the employees.Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage

There is also help in the kitchen as well as lighting little bonfires from which tea and coffee is served.
