Every Saturday, new customers pick up one of our 8 minivans and head off to explore the real Portugal, hopping from one unique campsite to another. Your job? Making sure they start their adventure with a perfectly prepped van and a warm welcome.

YOUR ROLE

This isn’t your typical 9 to 5. This part-time position offers you 2 days of work per week, with Saturdays as your main day.

Every Saturday (9:00 – 17:30) you lead a small team to get all vans ready for the new guests. You’re in charge, you keep overview, and you make sure everything runs smoothly. At 15:15, the new travellers arrive by shared transfer. This is your moment: you welcome everyone with genuine enthusiasm, walk them through their van, answer questions, and send them off with a smile. This isn’t a boring admin check in. It’s a personal welcome that gets people excited about their trip.

Throughout the week you’re the point of contact for guests on the road. Most things are already arranged, so it doesn’t take much time. But you’re available via WhatsApp for questions, tips, or if something comes up. You’re also responsible for the emergency phone, so guests can reach you if they really need help. You also spend a few hours on light admin and communication tasks. You spread these hours flexibly throughout the week around your own schedule.

ABOUT YOU

• You’re reliable. Those Saturdays are sacred because that’s when everything revolves around our guests. You take responsibility and you know how to keep a team working together smoothly.
• You’re a natural host. People are starting their holiday during check in. You create that carefree feeling, genuine warmth, and a good story to send them on their way.
• You communicate easily in Portuguese and English (Dutch is a bonus but not required). With guests, with your team, and with your manager in the Netherlands.
• You’re hands on and practical. Overseeing cleaning, checking materials, solving small issues on the spot. That’s your thing.
• You live in or around Lisbon so you can be there every Saturday without hassle.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary of €900 per month (duodécimos system, holiday pay included), paid over 12 monthly instalments for the period of mid January through mid November, with possibility of extension.
• Flexibility throughout the week. Outside of Saturday, you spread your hours flexibly across the other days. It’s about being available and handling a few hours of admin and communication daily.
• A fun, informal work environment. You may hire your own personnel, we think it’s important that you and your colleagues enjoy their work.
• Work-life balance. With just 2 days of work per week, you have plenty of time for studies, other projects, or simply enjoying life in Portugal.
• The chance to be the face of Portugal Nomads and actually make people’s holidays better.
