Types of work typically available in Reus
There are a few bars and restaurants in Reus that offer work however you will need to speak Spanish. If you
are looking for seasonal work and you don’t speak Spanish you should
head for the coast – to resorts like Salou. There is a large tourist
population there throughout the summer, and the hotels, bars and restaurants
all need workers who can communicate with the tourists in their own language.
In Reus centre the type of jobs available are more in the administrative
and office field. There is an office called Ocaso Assegurances just off
the Placa Prim on the Raval de Santa Ana. When I passed they had administrative
work advertised in the window.
You
can also search the official employment office webpage ‘work
in Spain’. You need to be able to speak Spanish, but it has jobs
available all over Spain in many types of industry. ‘work in Spain’ website
Average Wages
The wages in Spain are generally lower than in the UK. If you are working
in a restaurant or bar then be prepared to earn between 800 – 1100
euros per month plus your tips. It pays to be nice to your customers because
the tips can make up a significant proportion of your wages.
Some bars and restaurants may not
be willing to give you a contract if you are only working for a few months
in the summer. Legally they should give you one, or you should register
yourself as self-employed with the tax office and social security office.
Many people do work the summer without a contract, but it’s not officially
correct, so be aware of your rights.
For office work in Reus town centre expect to earn up to 1,300 euros
per month.
