Overview
This position is currently filled for the summer season. We are accepting applications for winter 2024 and forward, but will not be doing interviews immediately. We encourage you to apply if you think you are the right candidate for this!
Perfect role for those who crave a life filled with experiences and human interaction. You don't need to be an extrovert to work here but a rock-solid work ethic, empathy, communication skills, self-direction, an eye for detail, and some flexibility are critical.
Key Responsibilities
Reception - answering phones, managing reservations, welcoming & assisting guests, maintaining safety & comfort of the hostel.
Lodge & Property Keeping - turning over guest rooms, cleaning all common areas of the hostel, laundry, deep cleaning as needed, shoveling in winter, garden maintenance in summer.
Breakfast & Bar Service - preparing simple recipes for our daily continental breakfast, maintaining kitchen inventory, very basic bar service during the afternoon/evening shift, setting out & maintaining breakfast during the morning shift.
Shuttling - we operate a hiker shuttle (in summer/fall) for thru-hikers and other guests looking to explore the area efficiently. You are not required to have any specific licensure other than a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and the understanding that we have a zero-tolerance policy for anything that would put a guest at risk in our care. Most trips will be a few miles to the trailhead locally, but you may be required to do longer trips when needed.
Additional Details
For this role, we are looking for both full-time and part-time staff.
For part-time, we could use help with both morning and evening shifts but are somewhat flexible with exact hours. Here are three example shifts: Morning: 6:30am - 11am, Evening: 4pm - 8pm, Evening: 5-10pm.
