Requirements

What we're looking for

📌 Experience managing teams. This is the heart of the job. If you have already led a team in a kitchen, a restaurant, or accommodation, you will know where the key lies: organizing well, knowing how to say things, and building cohesion.

📌 Availability on weekends and holidays. Many groups arrive on these days, and it is when the house needs you most.

📌 Own vehicle. The house is in the middle of nature, away from urban centers, and you will need a car to get there every day.

📌 Speaking Catalan. It is the working language with the team, the schools, and the families.

Nice to have

If you have also performed administrative tasks such as invoicing or ordering, it will be much easier for you. If you haven't, don't worry, it can be learned. You also don't need to come from the leisure world. However, if you like nature and children, you will enjoy it twice as much.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

✅ A stable job, one of the few in the sector. Permanent contract and full-time, in one of the few houses in the company with fixed management all year round.

✅ A clear salary from the start. Initially between €28,000 and €32,000 gross per year, depending on your experience.

✅ Meals are on us. You will eat at the house every day at no cost to you.

✅ Montseny as your office. You will work in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Catalonia, far from the noise of the city.

✅ You won't be alone. You will have a leisure director by your side, who handles all the pedagogical aspects, and the team of monitors. You will also have the support of the central team for everything you may need.

✅ A job that has meaning. Every week you will see school groups pass through who have come to learn, to play, and to get to know the farm. Much of whether everything goes well depends on you.

The role

Can you imagine managing a house where the daily job is ensuring hundreds of boys and girls live through days they will remember for their entire lives? And doing so in the heart of Montseny, with a stable job all year round?

If you come from catering, a mass catering kitchen, or accommodation and you have the desire to run an entire center, you might like this job. At Castell de Fluvià, you will be the person who makes everything work: the kitchen, the dining room, cleaning, and maintenance. This way, every school that arrives finds the house ready and the team of monitors can do what they do best.

Castell de Fluvià is a stately 18th-century farmhouse built upon an ancient medieval castle, within the Montseny Natural Park. It functions as a farm school and is one of the largest houses of Rosa dels Vents. At Rosa dels Vents, we have spent years organizing holiday camps and school stays in our houses throughout Catalonia. Although your job will be managerial, you will work surrounded by nature, children, and activities, which makes the day-to-day unlike any other.

What you'll do

Your mission will be to ensure the Castle runs like clockwork, week after week. You will be the visible face of the house for schools and groups, and the reference person for a team of about ten people.

  • You will manage the kitchen, dining room, cleaning, and maintenance team: you will organize schedules and shifts and support each person so they can do their job well.

  • You will coordinate with the leisure director for every stay, from the moment the group arrives until they depart.

  • You will manage orders, suppliers, and stock so that nothing is missing.

  • You will attend to teachers and group leaders, and resolve whatever is needed on the fly.

  • You will ensure that the house is always in good condition and ready for the next group.

How you'll work

The start date will be at the beginning of 2027.

In the day-to-day

What will make you succeed in this job

Can you see yourself doing it?

If you are excited by the idea of managing a house where things happen every week, with a team under your charge, a stable job, and Montseny as your landscape, apply for the offer.

We will explain all the details to you personally.

Hiring process

  1. We will review your application and, if it fits, we will call you to get to know you.

  2. We will have an in-person interview to talk in depth about the job and about you.

  3. We will send you a brief questionnaire about your working style.

  4. You will have a final meeting with the Holiday Camp Management.
