Description
Currently looking for someone to join us for SPRING / SUMMER !
We are a friendly, welcoming, clean and comfortable backpackers hostel in Nottingham CIty Centre. The hostel has been providing rooms for travellers, families and students for over 20 years! Set in the heart of Nottingham city centre there is so much to do including visiting the legendary and newly renovated Nottingham Castle, the underground network of the City of Caves, the home of Batman and the local deer at Wollaton Hall and the famous Sherwood Forest! Packed full of independent shops and bars and boardgame cafes - you are spoilt for choice and it is all just a stone's throw from us. You could also visit the home of Lord Byron and Newstead Abbey or take a bus ride further a field towards the Peak District for some hikes!Types of help and learning opportunities
Help around the houseGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
Join our friendly team and become part of the hostel family. We are looking for someone to come and work with us during our busiest period. With our communal kitchen, lounge and garden there will be lots of opportunities to meet other travellers/students and families and exchange cultures. Learn new skills and discover what it is like to work behind the scenes at a busy backpackers hostel and practise your English with our staff. We will work hard to make you feel at home and embrace the Nottingham culture (eating plenty of mushy peas).

You will need to be an excellent cleaner and be able to work quickly and efficiently on busy days. Also as this is a live-in position there will be times when you will have to be "on-call" during the night.

Accommodation
We have a staff room on the premises where you will stay with other live-in workers. The communal kitchen & bathrooms will always be available for you to use.
What else ...
Due to BREXIT we are unable to take on EU nationals like we did before, therefore you will need the correct permit / visa to be able to work in the UK or a UK passport. Happy to discuss this individually.
