Permanent Contract (CDI) - 39h/week - Versatile Employee

Come join Le Flâneur!

We are the first youth hostel created and organized as a SCOP. Collaborative, collective, and participatory management has grown considerably in recent years, and for good reason! Let’s take power where we can: in the very social fabric of our existence (too much?)

We are a youth hostel, we welcome people from all walks of life: travelers, workers, groups, students looking for an apartment, but we also work with associations that help people in need. We work to create connections, for a caring way of living together that respects everyone. It may sound utopian, but that’s our aspiration.

Join a great, motivated team, work with music, in good spirits, and bring your energy to Le Flâneur!

Note: This is not only a receptionist position. This role involves a significant amount of cleaning.

I'm hyped, but what are my tasks?

We are all versatile. That means all shifts rotate: cleaning (a big part, especially at the beginning), reception, bar... Shifts rotate and so do the hours: you'll start as early as 6 a.m. and finish as late as midnight. However, we make it a point of honor to respect everyone's rest and we'll always ensure that shifts are correctly spaced out.

For your tasks, here's a non-exhaustive list:

→ Reception

  • Welcome, inform, and personalize the customer relationship

  • Register arrivals and departures

  • Telephone and email management

  • Booking software management

  • Take, understand, and enter reservations

  • Guarantee the quality of services

  • Follow up on current reservations

→ Cleaning

  • Make and strip beds

  • Laundry

  • Cleaning of toilets, showers, and WCs

  • Maintenance of the bar and common areas of the hostel (kitchen, floors, outdoor courtyard…)

→ Bar

  • Service at the bar

  • Preparation of cocktails

  • Preparation of tapas and platters

Training is ongoing, the longer you stay, the more varied your tasks will be.

After 1 year with us, you'll have the opportunity to join the management team and become a partner!

That's so me! What kind of profile are you looking for?

Ideally someone with some experience in service, hospitality, hostelling, maintenance, bar... But we value any relevant experience!

  • Native French or bilingual, and fluent English required (and a 3rd or 4th language if you’re on fire! We’ll take it!)

  • Long-term commitment

  • Good customer relations skills

  • Organization and autonomy

  • Reactivity, anticipation, and attentiveness

  • Ability to resist stress and handle a high workload

  • Night work after a few months of training

  • Computer proficiency (mainly office software)

  • Experience in hostelling/hospitality is a plus

  • Curiosity and interest in shared and participatory governance systems

  • Curiosity about the SSE (Social and Solidarity Economy)

  • A big ++++ if you’re handy!

OK, you’ve convinced me. I’m coming. Where is it? What’s it like?

AWESOME! We’re waiting for you!
