Remuneration: €11 / hour
Start Date: On or after 06/02/2026 for interviews/training, regular duties starting on or after 07/02/2026.
Contract Type: Autónomo (self-employed sub-contractor )
Payment Method: Monthly via bank transfer upon receipt of invoice.

The Company: ‘On The Rocks Tours’ are a small nightlife tour company based in Brighton in the UK and operating further branches in Barcelona, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Manchester. We provide both package and bespoke nightlife tours and organised bar crawls. For more information visit the website here.
The Role: The following will be carried out under the supervision and guidance of the Barcelona Manager:
Guiding the ‘Main Crawl’ - Your responsibilities will include greeting customers, checking their tickets, explaining what to expect from the night, introducing them to the other members of the crawl, giving ‘5-minute warnings’ and ensuring that no one is left behind when moving between venues. You may be sent to check ahead with venues to see that they are ready to receive the group or assigned to look after customers who have had ‘one too many’ until they are either safely sent home or ready to re-join the group.
Guiding private crawls - These are usually stag/hen dos with occasional birthdays and office parties thrown in. The core duties are very similar to those on the ‘Main Crawl’.
Photography - A large number of varied, high-quality photos should be taken throughout the night.
Problem-solving - You’ll be required to think on your feet and find solutions. Large groups of drunk customers mixed with strict ID laws and door policies can lead to many unforeseen circumstances. As such, workarounds that please both our partner venues and the customers are essential.
Socialising - the customer experience is a very important part of our tours and as such the guides need to be very outgoing and have the ability to make people enjoy their presence. Any ‘down-time’ between other duties should be filled with ensuring that all customers are happy and feeling comfortable or otherwise ‘making friends’.
Experience: no previous experience needed but is preferred. All training is provided.
About you: The idóneo candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills, be the ‘life of the party’ and be able to speak and write English to a high level.
The below skills are desirable but not essential:
- Fluent Castillian.
- Excellent verbal communication skills, experience in customer-facing roles in hospitality.
- Knowledge of photography, especially in an events or nightlife setting.
- Other foreign Language skills.
- An advanced ability to be able to problem-solve under pressure.
What you will get: All training will be provided and ongoing throughout your time working with us. Depending on the company workload the hours may vary and you will be remunerated in kind.
Development Opportunities: Guides who show consistent promise whilst working for us have opportunities for advancement. First as a supervisor on the Barcelona crawl and then if all goes well as the manager of one of our crawls (unless the Barcelona Manager position is vacant this will require the applicant to be willing to re-locate).
Job Type: Part-time
Pay: 11.00€ per hour
Expected hours: 0.01 – 12 per week
Application Question(s):
- You need a WhatsApp account in order to communicate with the venues and customers. Please confirm that you have a Whatsapp account and state what the phone number is that's associated with it, including the 'country code' with no spaces e.g. +447763118734. (We will likely contact you about your application via WhatsApp so it is important that this information is accurate).
- Are you often described by people as 'the life and soul of the party', 'VERY high energy', ridiculously outgoing' AND 'a complete charm'? Can you cinsistently animate even a smallish group of awkward people to have a great night? Please be honest because if you're not, the rest of this application and any interviews we may invite you to will just end up being a waste of your time. Please reply with a simple 'yes' if you are 100% confident that this describes you.
- Do you understand that we are NOT a bar and you will NOT be a barman/maid/tender? In a couple of sentences, please confirm that you understand by describing what a 'Crawl' is and what your job will be. (It's painfully obvious when people use AI for this so please just don't.)
- Please confirm that you are available for an interview/training/work on the evening of Fri 6th January 2026, (We will be unable to offer you a position if you are not, even if the rest of your application is absolutely amazing). If you are available, please respond with this exact phrase: 'Yes, I'm available that evening from 19:00 onwards'
- What is your favourite pub/bar/club in the Barri Gothic and, in a few sentences, why?
- Are you 18 or older? (We cannot hire you if you are under 18)
- Will you be in Barcelona and available to work for at least one year?
- If your paper application is successful, we will call you either on your phone or on whatsapp to arrange an interview. If you are someone who does not answer calls from numbers you do not recognise, it would be sensible to change that policy for now, as we will move on to the next candidate if you do not answer and will likely not leave a message. You are welcome to return our call if you miss it, but as being contactable is an important quality in an applicant, we are unlikely to follow up further if you do not get back to us. Please reply with this exact phrase: 'Yes, I understand you will likely ring only once, it may be on whatsapp or my mobile, and I may not recognise the number. I will endeavour to answer, or respond if I see a missed call; either on Whatsapp or directly on my phone.'
