Waiter / Waitress

Fulltime job as a waiter or waitress on a unique location including board and lodging, an annual contract, and a great chance of contract renewal!


Are you ready for a new adventure in the hospitality industry? Do you have no plans for the upcoming time and do you want to make money? Besides that, are you hospitable, motivated, and enthusiastic? Then start working for us on the Wadden islands!

We are looking for nice people whom are willing to work hard, while having fun. Grinding in your vacation, weekend, or fulltime on Vlieland where it’s never boring! A waiter or waitress who passes his or her colleagues while whistling. Someone that gets energy from a busy night and gets joy from happy guests around the hotel. Someone who is willing to become a familiar sight in the restaurant and that way represents the company in a proper way. In short: someone with a passion for hospitality!

Working on Vlieland

We have two hotels and one beach club on Vlieland. Our family business once started at Hotel de Wadden in the Dorpsstraat on Vlieland. Moreover, Beach hotel Seeduyn is located right at the beach and you’ll find the only beach club on Vlieland there as well: The Badhuys.Vlieland, Terschelling, and Ameland are popular tourist destinations with large white beaches and cozy villages. During summer tourists and workers make these islands very lively, whereas winters provide calmness allowing you to get to know your colleagues and enjoy the coziness of small communities where everyone knows each other. And, not to mention the islands have amazing natural environments.  

But… working for WestCord doesn’t only mean running and sweating for your work. Because, besides working hard, we also need someone who likes swimming in the sea, someone who likes meeting new people, who likes to spend off hours sunbathing or surfing on the beach, and someone who likes to end his shifts with having a few drinks with his or her colleagues or a bonfire on the beach! Because besides colleagues, we’re also a close-knit family at WestCord.
