Amazing Small Hostel Needs New Manager in May 2014: Phoenix Arizona USA
Where have you been? We’ve been looking for you!
We are CamelBackpackers Hostel. We are a small hostel with less than 20 beds that opened about two years ago. We are looking for a fun and energetic traveler to manage our hostel. We would like to hire and have you start no later than May 17, 2014 (may be flexible). We will take applications only over the next couple weeks. We will schedule interviews with the best of the candidates.
Is our hostel for you?
We are looking for a live-in manager who will help us to continue to grow and improve. You will be in charge of most aspects of the hostel. You will manage 2-5 work exchange based on need. This position isn’t just a job it’s a lifestyle. We want to hire someone who is passionate about operating a hostel and will be committed to giving our guests the best visit possible. You can learn more about our hostel at www.camelbackpackers.com or www.facebook.com/camelbackpackers.
We pride ourselves in being a small hostel. We want to focus on the total guest experience rather than simply providing a bed. We feel that that staff can make or break a hostel. We love our hostel and it is important for us to ensure you love your job too. We want you to feel more like family member than an employee.
What are the requirements?
-You need to be a US Citizen or have a US Work Permit
-We are hiring for long-term not just a few months (A minimum of 7 months)
-Fluent English is a must
-Travel experience preferred
What will you do on an average day?
We are small hostel so you’ll be helping with a little bit of everything. The primary focus will be to offer local knowledge and assistance to guests, to ensure their needs are met and their experience at CamelBackpackers Hostel is memorable and enjoyable. You will schedule the work exchange, provide clear guidance on their duties, help move the hostel forward with activities and social media. You will work as a staff member as well as the manager.
Some normal duties will be:
-Answering questions, giving guests suggestions on what to do, hosting events
-Taking reservations, bookings, and selling goodies and bicycle rentals
-Laundering the bed linen and towels
-Shopping for groceries and other items
-Housekeeping duties and helping to ensure the hostel stays clean throughout the day (Tidying up messes like left dishes or messy restrooms)
-Making network connections, updating online information, following up on reviews
You will be a live-in resident with a small, private room and will receive two days off per week. Don’t worry; a majority of that time will be socializing with the guests.
So what will you get?
We value you too much to just have a work-exchange. You will receive a weekly salary of $250 plus extras like meals when we cook and free entry into events. We also want you to know Phoenix so we’ll show you the ropes and our favorite things to do in this Southwest city and the area. Plus you’ll get the valuable experience of helping run a new hostel.
Where is Phoenix? Why will you love it?
Phoenix is located in Arizona. It borders California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Mexico. It is in the Southwestern US in the Sonoran Desert. You’ll love the weather. It does get extremely hot in the summer but the other nine months of the year make up for it. It is the sixth largest city in the US and a perfect hub for travelers. It has an international airport and is an easy day’s drive to other major cities like Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, and only four-hour drive to Mexico or the Grand Canyon, one of the Wonders of the World. There are endless day trips to other cities, ghost towns, gold mines, ancient dwellings, and wine country.
Phoenix offers everything that other large cities offer such as more amazing local restaurants, bars, and entertainment options than we could ever physically visit. We are always finding our new favorite coffee shop, breakfast joint or happy hour spot. The list goes on and on. Phoenix is also home to seven local breweries, one of our favorite places to visit. We have several great museums, amusement parks, and even a safari park.
There are over a dozen mountains and park reserves with limitless trails to hike, bike or picnic. There’s endless options for outdoor activities like sky diving, rappelling, tubing down the river, canoeing, horseback riding, boating, camping, fishing, and even snowboarding is just a two-hour drive away.
The city is vibrant and alive. The mindset in Phoenix is really changing to be more conscious and eco-friendly. It’s about buying local and trying to make a difference. We think you get the point. We love Phoenix and we know you will too. We hope you get a chance to explore it and see for yourself the many things Phoenix has to offer.
