Hiring for housekeeping, floor staff, barista and reef-boat roles ramps up in April and May and holds through September, with Carnivale in mid-May to open the season. Housing is the squeeze: vacancy has run as low as 0.4% and locals ran an Adopt A Worker campaign. Dougies runs a jobs board and a workers' WhatsApp channel. Get a bed before you get a shift.
