Job Description
Helpers at EN are mainly involved in cleaning and bed making at our guesthouse, to insure a pleasant experience for all of our guests. The work is for four to five hours a day, with two days off per week. EN staff work on a “shift system,” so the days helpers have off will change from week to week.
While helpers do not earn a salary, they are offered free lodging and homemade dinners in exchange for their work. Our chefs are wizards in the kitchen and whip up all sorts of delicious dishes for our daily staff dinners!
After work, our helpers do various things during their free time, such as working other part-time jobs, exploring the city, or just relaxing!
Please note that we are unable to offer visas to our helpers.
