Live in Management Opportunities at Beachfront Boutique Hostel

El Diablo Tranquilo, in the bohemian seaside village of Punta del Diablo Uruguay, has been creating memories as a welcoming home for guests and staff alike for ten years and is looking forward to continuing that tradition. If you are a hospitality professional with leadership experience looking to explore new places and test yourself against new challenges, read on. Our ethos is to fully embrace the fact that we're not just renting beds, we're creating experiences. We do this in part by bringing together a large and eclectic staff that reflects the profile of our guests and then striving to blur the lines between those working and those visiting. The hostel is made up of three buildings, a beachfront restaurant and hostel on one property and a larger hostel and staff housing just two blocks away. The pueblo is extremely seasonal, with up to 30,000 visitors joining the 2,500 year-round inhabitants for the very peak season. Though we do generate the vast majority of our revenue during a relatively short season, our business is one of the few that operates consistently throughout the whole year. This brings a balance to the job that I have always appreciated, with ebbs and flows that allow each season to be approached as a unique challenge and enough peace and relaxation during the winter months to offset the frenetic pace of the short summer. In other words, when you can’t stand the crowds any longer, winter sets in, when you’re getting bored of the slow season, things start heating up. In accordance with that seasonality, our staff fluctuates from a low of 8-10 during winter while reaching 30+ in summer (more if we operate our restaurant instead of leasing it out). Though the core of our seasonal summer staff will include a lot of returnees, we are making some leadership changes and adding a few exciting new positions.
