Description
LOOKING FOR SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER FROM NOW UNTIL MID-SEPTEMBER!
We run a fun and social hostel in the heart of Bratislava, capital of Slovakia.
We are looking for staff members for reception, cleaning and entertainment and to build a new hostel! :D
Our place is a well-balanced backpacker's/party hostel, yet the weight is more on the party side as together with our sister hostel we organize parties on a daily basis.
We have a team of 8-14 people at a time which is constantly changing so feel free to contact us any time. If we are in need of someone at the moment we will get back to you as soon as possible.
We get many applications, so when you write, please tell us about yourself and your motivation to assist us. Long essays will (kinda) be read but they’re not fun, so keep it simple :)
We prefer staff to stay for a month and a half ideally, but if you can only stay for two weeks we might need another pair of hands to clean the hostel - and there is always the opportunity to stay longer if you're happy with us and we're happy with you :)
We do accept couples of *friends*, but we do NOT accept couples. Lie to us and you will be sent away on your first day.
Despite the fact that the work has to be properly done, you will have a great time here and meet a bunch of cool people during your stay, just take a look at our feedback at the bottom. :)
You will get free accommodation and food, and an hourly wage on monthly basis in case you want to get involved in our business activities.
Lastly, this is not the best place for those with remote work/classes that have fixed hours.
Lastly part 2: if you come, understand that you will be speaking ONLY in English and that your level should be close to fluent. If you don't think you can do that, please save us the trouble and do not apply.Types of help and learning opportunities

She helped out wherever she could around the hostel, was always on time for shifts and bought a good vibe to the hostel! Thanks for you hard work Gabi and we hope that you come back and party with us some time soon!
Thank you for all your beautiful work and for being apart of the family here at Urban. We were lucky to have Nel join us for a month here at the hostel and oh what a month it was. She was very quiet at first and over time I watched her flower and become a true member of our team.
