What to expect in Tenerife
As the largest of the seven Canary islands, Tenerife is known for it’s volcanic
landscape and vibrant nightlife. You’ll even have the chance to spot whales and
dolphins if you care to partake in the many sightseeing opportunities!
The buzz of Veronicas Strip makes Tenerife an ideal party resort, with more
bars and clubs than you’ll know what to do with! You definitely need a full
season to experience everything Tenerife has to offer, and the number of
tourists that this epic location draws makes for an ideal location to find
your dream job with Summer Takeover.
What type of people get jobs in Tenerife?
If you want a smaller resort with plenty of variety then jobs in Tenerife are ideal. The bars are all within walking distance of one
another, and there’s so much to do during the day. With so many local businesses, workers will always be in high demand so you’ll
have plenty of options to choose from!
The majority of Summer Takeover guests travel solo, so if you’re nervous about heading out on your own don’t panic! Once you’ve
secured your place you’ll be added into a private Facebook group, and given login details for our very own workers social network,
SummerSphere, so you can get chatting to all the other guests before you go
What type of jobs are available in Tenerife?
Most jobs available in Tenerife will revolve around the nightlife, such as Bar work, Restaurant work, Ticket Selling and working for some
of Tenerife’s biggest events companies. If you fancy your chances at being able to make some decent commission, Shot
selling or Balloons are definitely the way forward. Check out our jobs tab for the full range of job opportunities and further information!
When is the best time to go to Tenerife?
Our dates run from May to July, but you can stay on for the closing parties - we’ll help you secure further accommodation when
you’re out there. If it’s your first time working abroad, we recommend going out earlier, it’s easier to get your
bearings when it’s a little quieter than to jump in at the deep end mid season!
Just finished my second year abroad with Summer Takeover and they’ve made it just as amazing as the last!
This was my second year with summer takeover and as normal there was no disappointment in it!
I went on the 16th of may, was a bit quiet at the start but couple weeks later it got rammed with workers and tourist's. I Had the privilege to work for tidal for the season it was insane. Met so many great people and i have life long friends from it, defiantly doing it again next season. Peace
Summer takeover was honestly best experience I had working abroad I’ve gone with this company two years in a row I would definitely recommend summer takeover to anyone who wants to work abroad.
Summer takeover is not one to miss out on! Met some great people who have become friends for life and had some unreal moments when I was away with the company! I'll be looking to do it all over again.
Where to start? Absolutely tip top service from ST and Nathan the rep was mega helpful
If you are thinking of going abroad to work look no further than summer takeover.
No regrets! I had the best summer; with the best people.100% recommend and would use summer takeover again!
This was definitely a summer to remember. Summer takeover were a massive help on the job front and great people who you could speak to whether you just wanted a chat or if you had a problem. Very friendly and would recommend anyone who want to go out and work through ST. They provided me a job on Tidal as a VIP host and it was hands down the best job on the island, making friends for life.
Best experience I’ve ever had, everyone makes you feel at home and as your one big family
I went with summer takeover and felt so welcomed any troubles or worry’s I had I felt very comfortable going to Dan and Jordan, they also helped me find a job which they made very easy within the first week and most importantly showed us the best time! Deffo recommended.
What are the wages like in Tenerife?
Wages in Tenerife average between €30-50, this is absolutely plenty when you consider that a bottle of beer will set you back €2 during the day, and around €4 in night time venues. As with all European resorts, spirit measures are generous so your money will stretch much, much further than it will at home!
Bear in mind - this doesn’t include tips and commission, so turn up the charm and you’ll have more money than you know what to do with...
How many hours a day will I be working in Tenerife?
Hours and shifts will vary depending on your job of choice for working in Tenerife. Ticket sellers can expect to be out enhancing their tan on the job, whilst bar workers will obviously start later. The average shift is between 4-6 hours, this leaves you plenty of time to visit the incredible volcanoes, go for a day trip to the theme park, or even try your hand at scuba diving!
As the pay is so good and the shifts are so short, most of our Summer Takeover crew work every day to maximise their earnings. See our jobs tab for more information. Work hard, play harder...
