Allround Employee – Werkplaats & Events

At Werkplaats, hard work transitions into casual drinks. It’s a space where artists and young entrepreneurs devour croissants and make new plans. Where thoughtful decisions are made, and films see the light of day for the first time. The place for working without an office and drinking coffee without a filter.

A lot happens in Werkplaats, which is why we’re looking for someone who enjoys it all. From making coffee in the morning, assisting with events during the day, to tapping beers in the evening.
Do you enjoy providing guests with a great experience? Do you like working in a creative, international environment, and do you have bar experience? Then we’d love to hear from you!!

Are you:

  • Living in Amsterdam (or nearby)?

  • At least 18 years old?

  • Someone who likes to roll up their sleeves and get to work?

  • Someone who aims to provide every guest with an optimal experience?

  • A team player?

  • Flexible and quick to adapt?

Your day will look like this: 

Before your shift, you can stretch and warm up as you wish. All staff members are welcome to join Volkshotel’s free yoga classes. Then you clock in and start your shift. The atmosphere in Werkplaats is casual and informal, so there’s no need to change into a uniform. You’ll be working on the floor and handling the daily tasks of the café. You’ll monitor the quality of our service and products, comply with health, safety, and hygiene regulations (HACCP), and be the first point of contact for guests. You’ll keep an eye on the spaces and ensure they stay tidy. During events, you’ll make sure the rooms are set up to perfection, assist guests during the event, and clean up afterward. You’ll be the face of Volkshotel, ensuring that every event runs smoothly. In addition to corporate events, you’ll also help with our own events taking place throughout the hotel, such as Short Movie Sunday, Live Resort, and a cozy market every two months in our Co-Working space. No day is the same, and you’ll always be part of a dynamic and creative team. Want to hang out after your shift? Feel free! You can take a dip in our hot tubs and sauna on the 8th floor, free of charge. Not heading home yet? No problem, employees enjoy discounts on everything (programming, rooms, food, and drinks) in the hotel.

What we offer: 

This is an on-call employment with a minimum of 2 shifts (16 hours) per week. The salary is in line with the hospitality sector CAO and your responsibilities. As an employee at Volkshotel, you get to stay in the hotel for free once a year. You can also count on the following: an extra vacation day, discounts on everything in the building, fun staff drinks, and the annual Volks birthday party.
We believe it’s important that our team is as diverse as Amsterdam itself, and we are building a diverse and inclusive workforce. This job is open to all candidates who identify with this.

We do not appreciate unsolicited recruitment.

Werkplaats creëert, net als de andere plekken binnen Volkshotel, ontmoetingen. Hier komen hotelgasten, Amsterdammers, expats, flexwerkers, Broedplaats huurders en personeel binnen om hun plekje in Volkshotel op te zoeken. Omdat Werkplaats zich op de begane grond bevindt, kun je de plek zien als een soort kruispunt. Werkplekken, receptie, zalen en café vloeien hier in elkaar over en zijn met elkaar verbonden. De sfeer is relaxed en ongedwongen en status verdwijnt. Werken gaat hier over in borrelen en misschien rol je daarna zelfs nog door naar andere plekken in het gebouw. Je wordt niet bediend en haalt zelf je drankjes of eten aan de bar.

Volkshotel is een plek waar veel verschillende mensen samenkomen. Dat is de kracht. Volkshotel probeert zo interessant en prettig mogelijke ontmoetingen te faciliteren.


De houding is functioneel en pretentieloos. Open voor alle mensen die open staan voor alle mensen. Ook toegankelijk in prijs.

Alhoewel het hotel pretentieloos is en open staat voor iedereen, doet het niet overdreven zijn best om iedereen te pleasen. Als we hebben bedacht dat iets goed is, dan staan we daarvoor.

Als je het zelf leuk hebt, hebben anderen het ook leuk. We proberen een plezierige omgeving te creëren voor iedereen.
