Job Description

Your Mission should you choose to accept…   

The Social Hub is serious about sustainability and impact (yes, we actually walk the talk on Corporate Social Responsibility). We're all about driving change in the hospitality industry and working on projects that spark planet-proof behaviour; empowering our community of changemakers, inside and outside our organization, to do good, together. 

As a certified B Corp with Science Based Targets in place, we're already making moves on energy, water, and waste reduction. But there's a lot of work to be done, and we're not stopping there. We're looking to level up our impact, and we need someone awesome to help us get there. 

That's where you come in. We're looking for an intern to join our team for at least 6 months, starting February 2027. 

In Case You Don’t Know Who We Are (ahem)…

Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, The United Kingdom and Portugal this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.

  • Strong interest in sustainability, social impact, and the TSH mission 
  • Proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with a willingness to take initiative 
  • Solid communication and storytelling skills; able to engage and inspire others

What We Offer

  • Monthly compensation for your internship (please note that travel costs are not reimbursed)  
  • The opportunity to work and learn at a dynamic, young, international organisation; we’re a real game changer in the hospitality industry 
  • The opportunity to work for a Certified B Corp® company that balances profit with positive impact, collaborating with organizations like Movement on the Ground and the TSH Talent Foundation to create meaningful change 
  • A first glimpse into the world of Hospitality with one of the most innovative players in the market 
  • Access to the amazing TSH facilities, including our awesome restaurant and gym. And did we mention you also get a discount on Hotel stays and Food and Drinks? 
  • A wonderful workplace to call home with, dare we say it, fun colleagues 

 

At The Social Hub, we believe pay should be fair and consistent. That's why we carefully determine your starting salary based on the role, your assessed proficiency, and our salary framework. We make our best and fairest offer upfront, so we don't negotiate salaries. Because fairness shouldn’t depend on who negotiates best.

Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
