HOSTEL ALL-ROUNDER WANTED – FINLAY JACKS BACKPACKERS, TAUPŌ

We’re looking for a fun, friendly and social person to join the crew at Finlay Jacks!

This is a proper hostel all-rounder role, so you’ll get involved in pretty much everything that makes the hostel tick — checking guests in, helping out with housekeeping, running social activities, chatting with guests and generally helping create the chilled, social atmosphere we’re known for.

The role:

  • Around 32 hours per week
  • 12 hours per week go towards your accommodation
  • Accommodation provided in our shared staff room
  • You’ll be expected to help organise and host social activities for our guests
  • Minimum 4-month commitment
  • Start date: End of October/November

Who we’re looking for:

Someone bubbly, friendly and confident who genuinely enjoys being around people. A big part of the role is getting involved with guests and helping run our social activities, so you need to be comfortable getting a group together, having a laugh and helping create a good atmosphere around the hostel.

Hostel or hospitality experience is great, but personality is more important to us. We want someone who gets along with everyone, has a good attitude, isn’t afraid of a bit of hard work and is keen to become part of the FJ crew.

Finlay Jacks is a top-rated backpackers in the heart of Taupō. We’re all about keeping things chill, social and welcoming, with a good crew and plenty going on around the hostel.

If this sounds like your kind of place, send us your CV and a little blurb about yourself — or even better, come in and say hey in person!
