  Description

  Kitchen & Hospitality Support – Practical, Reliable & Positive
  
  We are a small, family-run retreat venue in the peaceful Mallorcan countryside. Life here follows a calm and natural rhythm, shaped by our retreat guests, the seasons, and the everyday running of the property. Alongside the work, we value a genuine cultural exchange based on mutual respect, professionalism and working together as a small international team.
  
  We are now looking for one practical, reliable and positive person to join us from 3 September until 26 October.
  
  This is a full-time, paid Workaway position. It is a hands-on support role for someone who enjoys practical work, takes initiative and likes being part of a small team.
  
  Main tasks:
  • Assisting our Retreat Chef with food preparation.
  • Helping with washing up and keeping the kitchen organised.
  • Watering the plants and helping keep our beautiful courtyard welcoming for our guests.
  • Light housekeeping and simple cleaning tasks around the property.
  • Supporting the team with various practical tasks whenever needed.
  
  This role is ideal for someone who:
  • Enjoys practical work and likes to stay active.
  • Is reliable, organised and able to work independently.
  • Naturally notices what needs to be done.
  • Enjoys working with food and creating a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Is flexible and happy to help wherever needed.
  • Has a positive attitude and enjoys being part of a small international team.
  
  Previous kitchen experience is an advantage but is not essential. What matters most is that you are motivated, responsible and enjoy contributing wherever help is needed.
  
  Important to know:
  This is a physically active role with varied daily tasks.
  Working hours vary depending on our retreat schedule. Some days are busier, while others are quieter.
  Our property is located in the peaceful countryside, approximately 2 km from the nearest bus stop, so this position is best suited to someone who enjoys a quieter lifestyle.
  A private apartment on the property is provided.
  Our car can occasionally be borrowed for grocery shopping or other essential errands when it is available, but it is not intended for regular personal use.
  
  Practical & legal details:
  This is a full-time, paid position.
  EU citizenship is required, or you must be legally entitled to work in Spain.
  
  Cultural exchange:
  The cultural exchange in this position comes from working side by side in an international team, meeting retreat guests from many different countries, and becoming part of the everyday life and rhythm of a small retreat venue. Respect, reliability and clear communication are central to how we work together.
  
  If you recognise yourself in this description and feel that this role would suit you, we would love to hear from you.
  
  Please tell us a little about yourself, your practical experience, and why you think you would be a good fit.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you!
