Working in Palma Nova

The Balearic island of Mallorca has some great tourist resorts and Palma Nova is one of the busiest of these beach resorts.

The even bigger neighbouring resort of Magaluf is a better place to look for work but there are still good summer job opportunities here in the various bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels and clubs.

Palma Nova is quieter than Magaluf but still a busy, built-up resort.

job-spain-graphic It was created in the 1960’s so it does lack charm and character but it has three good beaches: Playa des Carregador is the quieter of the three beaches at the northern end, Playa de Palma Nova is in the middle and Son Maties at the southern end next to Magaluf. Head north to some lovely secluded coves, including Son Caliu.

Perhaps you might find work at the beaches helping with teaching windsurfing, pedal boat hire, banana and doughnut rides?

The three beaches are lined with hotels, fast food restaurants, cafes and bars so there are plenty of vacancies in summer.

There are other towns in Mallorca you can try such as Port de Soller if you want a beach resort or the capital Palma de Mallorca.

    Dear Mr./Ms,

    My name is Vladyslav, and I am writing to express my interest in potential job opportunities at your clinic. I plan to relocate to Mallorca in September and am currently exploring employment possibilities within your esteemed organization.

    This summer, I visited Mallorca and fell in love with the island. I am eager to make it my new home and contribute to the community. While I do not yet speak Spanish, I am fluent in English, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian, and I am committed to learning Spanish to better integrate into the local culture and workplace.

    Currently, I reside in the United Kingdom, where I work and undergo training at a care home operated by Care UK. Additionally, I work remotely as a manager for a private clinic in Ukraine, where I was employed prior to my move to the UK.

    I am also open to working in the tourism and hospitality sectors to start my journey in Mallorca. I would be grateful if you could inform me about any available positions that match my language skills and background.

    Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of joining your team.

    Best regards,

    Vladyslav
