Anyone looking for a job in Sunny Kerry for the Summer????

After living in London and various other parts of Ireland over the years, I must admitt that I have come to realise how lucky I am to be living in Waterville. If the last couple of weeks are anything to go by we are in for a fantastic summer, there are endless amounts of outdoor activities in the area for me its horse riding on the sandy beaches or on the miles of by rounds around the village, the place has been flocked with surfers who have experienced amazing waves for the last few months, we have 2 excellent golf courses and with activity centres dottted around the Iveragh pennisula there are plenty of activites to keep one occupied.  Aswell as the outdoor pursuits Waterville and the surrounding area has alot to offer, Tech Amergin in Waterville offers an extensive number of courses and workshops, it also holds arts events and even have its own Arts Festival “Feile na Greine”  in July.  The area is bustling with restaurants and pubs and has a large population of young people who have moved back and settled in the area. Anyway my point to all this is that we have a number of vacancies for summer jobs for anyone that is interested in getting out of the rate race for a couple of months, we have a breakfast waitress position, coffee shop attendant, commis chef and most importantly second chef so contact me if this life sound s good to you check out ours pics
