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 5h daily for 5 days a week 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!

As an Admin & Social Host, you are expected to be at the surf camp during your shift to check guests in and out, answer guest questions, answer the phone and doorbell. As you’ll be working on the following projects make sure you have some of these specific skills/interests we are looking for from the Admin & Social hosts:

• Cooking – the staff take turns and at least once a week cooks a meal, that’s how our cooking club works!
• Gardening and landscaping – Wilhelm, our gardener, works twice a week so the hosts need to help the rest of the time taking care of the veggie/ herbs garden and greenhouse.
• Social media and online marketing – the Social Hosts need to be involved in all our channels, including Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and Youtube by engaging in these channels and adding new content.
• Content creation and repurposing for social media and blog, we’re always looking for graphic designers, writers or SEO experts.
• Photography, videography & video making, editing amazing footage of our surf life, surfing or camping trips.
• Maintenance/ construction and working with tools and power tools to keep the property in top shape or add new facilities – it is an ongoing project, in 2024 we’ll be busy building an outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, adding a loft bed to one room and an outdoor shower.
• Previous experience in accommodations/ surf camps is a plus but not a must.
• Pilates and yogis are always welcome
• Job and entrepreneurial experience – you might be traveling during your gap and looking for a new adventure but if you already have work experience we’d be keen to exchange ideas and bring your unique entrepreneurial background along.
• Murals and decoration – artists are also welcome as long as their want to leave a piece of their art in our beautiful place!
