a&o Hostels: we are simple, honest and always with a smile. Since our first opening in 2000 we are expanding Europe-wide, true to our mission EVERYONE CAN TRAVEL. With currently 39 hostels in 23 cities and 8 countries, we are by now Europe's largest hostel provider, making our mission a reality! In doing so, as well as to keep and improve our standards and services we are supported and pushed by our headquarters in Berlin

Our teams are the core of a&o Hostels: Flat hierarchies and a culture of open feedback make the foundation of our work environment shaped by dynamics, growth, and innovation. With that, we offer ideal career opportunities for everyone, whether expert or career changer. We emphasize to treat each other in a fair, social, and responsible way. Because together, not only working is more fun - but also success.

To support these teams we are looking for All-Round Employees, side-jobbers, students, helping hands or career changers - just anyone who wants to help us provide the best possible morning to our guests.
Join now our team of the a&o Hostel in Amsterdam!

YOUR JOB

As an a&o all-round employee, you are really an all-rounder: you work flexibly in different shifts like reception, breakfast, restaurant, bar and general service, and filling in for those services is not a problem for you

The reception desk/ bar area will be your primary field of responsibility - this means:

You will be responsible for the Check-In and Check-Out of our guests behind the reception desk or in the lobby as a guest relation officer
To ensure all our guests enjoy their stay at a&o, you will cater to their needs and offer tourist information
At the bar your job is to serve hot and cold drinks and snacks, as well as to prepare cocktails
During restaurant-shifts, you are responsible for:

The timely preparation of breakfast-, lunch- or dinner-buffet
Ensuring that our guest are satisfied and that hygiene-standards are always kept
Receiving training (naturally cost-free for you!) for all the areas you may work in is part of your job

YOUR PROFILE

You have experience or a finished education in hospitality or tourism
Of course you are driven by a great sense of responsibility for the tasks you are given
You are a team player - working in a team, or leading it, comes natural to you
Even in shifts starting as early as 5am, it is easy for you to stay friendly, highly motivated and service-minded
Since shifts might start early or end late, living in Amsterdam or surrounding residential areas is ideal
You are 18 years or older, and able to work flexible hours and shifts (weekends, holidays, etc.)
Good English skills are a must, Dutch skills are highly preferred, the knowledge of additional languages is an advantage (preferably a modern European language like German)

OUR OFFER

An exciting, responsible job in one of the top-innovators amongst Hostel-providers is expecting you
You will enjoy a team-oriented working environment with flat hierarchies and plenty of room for the implementation of your own ideas and your personal development
Your working atmosphere is characterized by short decision-making paths and open communication; your voice will be heard.
We focus on people, so your well-being is important to us. Our teams are diverse and shape our lively, open and international corporate culture.
Profit from our attractive staff benefits programme, by (i.e.) free accommodation in all a&o Hostels, a wide range of subsidized cultural and recreational offers and events
Additionally: language courses, trainings, sports, etc.
Of course we offer fruits and vegetables as well as drinks on a daily basis - and as a hostel employee you may also participate in the hot meals at the buffet together with your team.

Are you that good-humored, service minded and hospitable person we are looking for?
We are very happy to receive your application (resume, earliest possibly starting-date).

Apply now!
