Zante Jobs: Bar, PR, Club Rep & Every Role in Laganas

From PR on the Laganas Strip to bar work in the busiest clubs on the island, here's every type of summer job we help people into in Zante – what each one involves, who it suits and how to get started.

Summer jobs in Zante: the roles

Laganas is one of the busiest party resorts in Europe, and every bar, club and event needs a team. These are the main roles our workers do each season:

Exactly what's available depends on the venue and the time of the season. Our team helps match you with a role that suits you. Your job is offered to you before you arrive in resort, and you're guaranteed a trial – after that, it's down to you to keep it.

Bar staff jobs in Zante

Bar work is the job most people picture when they think of a season in Laganas – and for good reason. You're behind the bar in the middle of the night-time buzz, pouring drinks, keeping the queue moving and getting to know the regulars who come back night after night.

You don't need bar experience. Venues are looking for people who are confident, quick on their feet and good with people – the rest you pick up on shift. It suits anyone who likes being busy and doesn't mind late nights.

PR jobs in Zante

PR is the most talked-about job on the Laganas Strip. You're out front of a bar or club, chatting to holidaymakers as they walk past and convincing them your venue is where the night should start. It's sociable, it's outdoors and every night is different.

The best PRs are chatty, thick-skinned and good at reading a crowd. If you're the friend who always gets the group out, you'll probably love it. PR pay is often linked to how many people you bring in, so it rewards effort.

We go into much more detail in our guide to PR jobs in Zante.

Club rep jobs in Zante

Club reps promote a club and its events – getting the word out around the resort, bringing groups in and helping out front-of-house when the night gets going. It's a mix of selling, socialising and being the friendly face people recognise.

It's a good fit if you're outgoing and organised, and you like the idea of being part of a venue's team rather than just working a shift.

Bar back jobs in Zante

Bar backs keep the bar running. You're restocking fridges, bringing up ice, changing over supplies and clearing empties so the bar staff can keep serving. On a busy night in Laganas, a good bar back is worth their weight in gold.

It's a great first job if you want to get into bar work. You learn how a busy venue works from the inside, and it's the kind of role where reliability gets noticed.

Ticket sales jobs in Zante

Ticket sellers sell events around the resort – think club nights, bar crawls and other events. You're talking to holidaymakers during the day and evening, explaining what's on and getting them booked in. It's usually commission-based, so the more you sell, the more you earn.

It suits confident talkers who are happy to set their own pace and like the idea of their effort showing up in their pay.

Waitress and waiting staff jobs in Zante

Waiting jobs in Zante cover restaurants, bars and beach venues, on day or evening shifts. You're taking orders, carrying plates and drinks, and keeping customers happy. It's a good option if you'd rather work daytime or early evening and still have nights to enjoy the resort.

Friendly, organised people do well here. Experience helps, but it isn't essential.

Glass collector jobs in Zante

Glass collectors work the floor of busy bars and clubs, clearing glasses and bottles and keeping the venue safe and tidy. It's physical, fast-paced and right in the middle of the atmosphere.

It's another solid way into the bar world – lots of people start out collecting glasses and move behind the bar once the venue knows them.

Shot seller jobs in Zante

Shot sellers work the floor of a venue with a tray of shots, getting the party going and earning through sales. Confidence and energy matter far more than experience – if you can strike up a conversation with anyone, you'll do well.

Like most sales-based roles, how much you earn depends on how much you sell, so it rewards people who throw themselves into it.

VIP hostess jobs in Zante

VIP hostesses look after tables and guests in clubs and beach venues – greeting groups, keeping the drinks flowing and making sure VIP guests have a great night. It suits confident, well-organised people who love hosting.

DJ jobs in Zante

DJs play bars, clubs and events across Laganas. If you already have a few sets behind you and know how to read a crowd, let us know when you apply and we'll tell you what venues are looking for.

Security jobs in Zante

Security staff keep venues safe with calm, confident crowd management – on the door and on the floor. It suits level-headed people who stay cool when it's busy.

Do you need experience?

No – you don't need bar experience for any of these roles. What venues care about is attitude: turning up on time, being good with people and working hard when it's busy. Our seasons are for 18 to 29 year olds (most of our workers are 18 to 25), and workers from both the UK and Ireland are welcome.

Pay

Pay varies by venue – it can be hourly, nightly or commission – so ask your venue how it works for your role. Sales roles like PR, ticket sales and shot selling are often commission-based, while bar and floor roles are more likely to be hourly or nightly.
