About the employer

Mama Shelter is a lifestyle hospitality brand within Ennismore, part of Accor, known for combining hotel accommodation, restaurants, bars and social spaces with a lively, informal atmosphere. Its properties are designed to feel energetic and welcoming rather than traditionally formal, with distinctive interiors, local influences, communal dining and entertainment. Mama Shelter Dubai brings this concept to the United Arab Emirates, offering rooms, food and beverage venues, events and guest experiences aimed at both travelers and local residents. Team members are generally expected to be warm, confident, flexible and comfortable working in a busy, multicultural environment. The brand places emphasis on personality, teamwork, guest engagement and creative service while maintaining professional hospitality standards. As part of Accor’s wider network, employees may also benefit from structured training, international career opportunities and group employee benefits, subject to local terms and conditions.

Working in United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, with Dubai offering particularly strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, aviation, construction, technology and security. The culture is multicultural and generally respectful, while Islamic traditions influence public behavior, dress and major holidays. Dubai provides a modern lifestyle, excellent transport, international schools, shopping, beaches and extensive leisure activities, although rent and summer heat can be challenging. Most overseas employees require an employer-sponsored work permit and residence visa; the employer normally arranges medical testing, Emirates ID processing and related documentation. Do not work on a tourist visa. Confirm salary, accommodation, transport, insurance, leave, probation and end-of-service benefits in writing. Relocating candidates should budget for deposits, initial living costs and document attestation where required.
