Admin & Social Hosts Part Time

Situated in Namibia’s tourist hub on the rugged Atlantic Ocean coastline in the town of Swakopmund, Salty Jackal is the only accommodation geared towards surfers – it’s only one hour to the world-famous Skeleton Bay and many other surf spots are nearby.

The Admin & Social Hosts, supplement the management and the surf camp staff and add an international flair while contributing with their unique skills, personalities, and interests.

What will you be doing?

You will be busy 4h daily and good communication and teamwork with other staff will ensure that the salty ship sails smoothly. There are daily routine tasks like setting up the breakfast buffet, reception duties, feeding animals – but the Admin & Social Hosts can and should also get involved (using their own skills, creativity and initiative) in projects ranging from gardening to decoration to general maintenance to adding new facilities and so forth. Whatever your expertise is, we’ll be organizing a training day for you to make you feel part of the salty crew. Most of the tasks happen in the mornings, afternoons are quite relaxed so you can explore the area, chill with guests, help on projects or cook for guests to earn some spending money. And of course surf!
