About the job

We are looking for someone with talent, drive and a sense of humour to join our team as Handyman at our amazing, hotel-with-a-difference in Barcelona!


In Case You Don’t Know Who We Are (ahem):


Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more.

Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.
