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!
Job location: Le Flâneur Guesthouse – 56, rue Sébastien Gryphe – 69007 Lyon
