Job Details

HR Assistant - Zakynthos, Greece

Our staff are a mixture of experienced seasonal workers, hospitality professionals and enthusiastic students. We all work together to create the perfect destination holiday for our guests, with an emphasis on fantastic service, watersports tuition for all ages, and sophisticated socialising.

We recruit up to 120 seasonal staff over the summer across a range of exciting positions from watersports instructors to waiting staff, tennis coaches to spa therapists and receptionists to bartenders. We also employ chefs, drivers, nannies, villa hosts, tennis coaches, fitness instructors and more.

***

We are looking for someone who is either hoping to start a career in HR and personal development, or someone already in this field looking to take a break and use their skills and experience in beautiful surroundings and with the sea on your doorstep. 

A summer season is a completely unique environment - everyone lives and works together and whilst for most it’s an unforgettable and rewarding experience it can, at times, be overwhelming and exhausting. The wellbeing of our staff is incredibly important to us and we are looking for someone who is caring and approachable who can help us to provide support to the team. 

You will work very closely with our department managers to ensure that the needs of our staff are being met and to help resolve any issues or conflicts that arise within the team. There will also be a number of administrative duties involved including monitoring rotas and working hours and preparing information for payroll. You will also provide further support to the operations team with recruiting new staff throughout the season and ensuring that any new starters receive an induction and the necessary training. 

This is not your regular office job - you will be expected to engage with the team in their place of work, so you may spend some of your time working with the beach team, helping out in the restaurant and being staff driver for the morning. This is a great way to build relationships and identify anyone who may be struggling and need some additional support.

It’s not all work and no play – in your spare time, as well as being able to explore the island and experience the local food and culture, you will have access to the club’s watersports facilities, allowing you to hone your existing skills or learn new ones in sailing, windsurfing or motorised watersports.
