About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what keeps an office running smoothly behind the scenes? At Albayraq Tours, we know a warm cup of tea or a tidy workspace can make all the difference during a busy day. We're currently looking for an Office Boy or Office Girl to join our close-knit team at our Sharjah location — right by the sparkling waters of Al Buhaira Corniche, inside Crystal Plaza Mall. If you enjoy making a positive impact (and maybe perfecting your tea or coffee skills), this opportunity could be just the ticket.
About the Company
Here at Albayraq Tours, we're not just about travel — we’re about creating memorable experiences, whether for a customer heading off on holiday or a colleague working hard behind the desk. Our office buzzes with friendly conversation (in a mix of Arabic and English most days), and we pride ourselves on genuine hospitality. We might be tucked inside a lively mall, but our team values are old-school: respect, teamwork, and treating everyone like family. And, yes, there’s always time for a chat over coffee in our cozy break area.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Preparing and serving tea, coffee, and other refreshments for staff and visiting clients — with a smile.
- Keeping the office neat: organizing desks, common areas, and ensuring the reception looks welcoming.
- Assisting with basic office errands (like delivering documents within the building).
- Helping to restock pantry items and office supplies so we’re never out of essentials.
- Supporting team members as needed with light tasks or quick cleanups.
- Assuring hygienic standards are met in the kitchen and lounge areas.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Good communication skills in English (we won’t test you, just be comfortable chatting!)
- A readiness to work diligently and take pride in keeping things organized.
- A friendly, respectful attitude — we value kindness as much as skill.
- Valid UAE residence visa.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Basic knowledge of Arabic — a few phrases can go a long way with our team and customers.
- Previous experience in a similar support or hospitality role.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Supportive team members who appreciate your help and treat you with respect.
- Prime location in Crystal Plaza Mall, right by the Corniche — easy to get to, with everything you need nearby.
- Consistent working hours — so you can plan your personal time with ease.
- Informal perks, from surprise breakfasts to shared celebrations on birthdays.
- Opportunity to practice (and pick up) new languages and skills as you interact with a diverse group.
You'll join a place where people genuinely care — about each other, about their work, and about the little details. If you’re looking for a reliable team to support and cheer you on, we can’t wait to meet you!
