In Werkplaats, hard work transitions into relaxation. A place where artists and young entrepreneurs devour croissants and forge new plans. Where well-considered decisions are made, and films see the light of day for the first time. It’s the place to work without an office and drink coffee without a filter.

Werkplaats – located on the ground floor of Volkshotel – is a large café with a cozy terrace, and it also offers flexible workspaces for freelancers and self-employed professionals. It’s a meeting place where all sorts of people come together. Werkplaats has two faces: during the day, it’s a haven for coffee lovers, and in the evening, it offers a wide selection of (craft) beers. Events are regularly organized, ranging from photography markets to speed dating and live jazz performances. 

For Werkplaats, we are looking for an enthusiastic barista/bartender to join our team on a part-time basis. The focus of this role is mainly on daytime and early evening shifts, with most shifts taking place between 09:00 and 20:00. During your shifts, you will treat our guests to great coffee, a freshly poured beer or a delicious cocktail. Do you enjoy giving every guest the best possible experience and would you love to work in a creative and international environment? Do you also have some experience as a barista or working behind a bar? Then you might be our newest colleague!

Are you:

• Do you live in Amsterdam or the surrounding area?

• Are you at least 18 years old?

• Are you looking for a part-time job?

• Flexibly available, including weekdays during daytime hours?

• Enthusiastic, welcoming and service-oriented?

• Someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves?

• Able to adapt quickly and comfortable working in a dynamic environment?

A typical day: 

Want to stretch before your shift? You can! All employees can join the Volkshotel yoga classes for free. After that, you clock in and begin your shift. The atmosphere in Werkplaats is relaxed and informal, so no need to change into a uniform. You’ll be working on the floor, running the daily café operations. You ensure the quality of our service and products, follow health, hygiene, and safety regulations (HACCP), and serve as the point of contact for guests. Werkplaats welcomes locals, hotel guests, and tenants of Broedplaats. You’ll be making delicious coffees and pouring the perfect beers for them. You’ll also keep an eye on the café’s spaces and ensure they remain tidy. Want to hang out after your shift? Great! Take a dip in our hot tubs and sauna on the eighth floor – employees can use them for free. Not ready to go home yet? No worries – as an employee, you get a discount on everything (programs, rooms, food, and drinks) in the hotel.

What we offer: 

This is an on-call contract with a minimum of 2 to 3 shifts per week. You will receive a salary in accordance with the Dutch Hospitality Industry Collective Labour Agreement (Horeca CAO), based on your age and experience. As an employee of Volkshotel, you get to enjoy a free overnight stay at the hotel once a year. On top of that, you can look forward to the following benefits: an extra vacation day, discounts on everything in the building, fun team drinks and our annual Volks birthday party!
