The Ayudante de Camarero/a supports waiters and the restaurant team with table preparation, welcoming guests, serving food and beverages, clearing tables, maintaining cleanliness and following hotel service standards. Candidates are expected to have a customer-focused attitude, good personal presentation, reliability and the ability to work efficiently in a busy hospitality environment. Previous restaurant or hotel experience is useful but may not always be essential.

Flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays, teamwork, and attention to hygiene and guest satisfaction are important. The role may also involve standing for long periods and handling seasonal business demands.

The group offers opportunities in food and beverage, rooms, front office, events, wellness, engineering and management. Working for Meliá in the Balearic Islands can provide valuable experience in an international resort environment, although many positions are seasonal and work intensity increases during the summer tourism period.
Spain’s main tourism islands include Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and other Canary Islands. Hospitality, catering, housekeeping, reception, entertainment and maintenance offer the greatest number of jobs, especially from spring to autumn in the Balearics. Island life combines beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed social culture with busy peak seasons, higher accommodation costs and limited housing in popular areas. Spanish is important for daily life and employment, while English and German are particularly useful in tourism. EU and EEA citizens can work in Spain after registering and obtaining the required identification documents. Non-EU applicants generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and visa before starting employment. Candidates should confirm accommodation, contract terms, transport and whether meals or staff housing are provided. Reliable ferry and air connections link the islands with mainland Spain.
