If you want to work at Paradores, the public hotel chain offers several options on its official careers website: submitting an application for future opportunities, applying for temporary vacancies and applying through public-sector recruitment announcements. It is important to distinguish between them because each route has its own deadlines and conditions.
Here you’ll find out where to register your CV, how to check a recruitment announcement and which profiles can work at a Parador. The company also publishes development programmes for young people with no experience and professionals looking to take on more responsibility.
Don’t confuse the procedures: submitting a speculative application is not the same as applying through a public recruitment announcement. For permanent positions, check the rules, requirements and deadlines on the platform linked to by Paradores officially.
How to submit your CV to Paradores
The first step is to visit Paradores’ official careers website. Requirements and application procedures vary by role; do not rely on screenshots of adverts or old forms instead of the current vacancy announcement.
- Choose between a speculative application, temporary work and a public-sector recruitment announcement.
- Check the vacancy requirements and location before applying.
- Tailor your CV to the duties actually listed, without claiming experience you do not have.
- For a recruitment announcement, follow its rules and deadlines; for other vacancies, complete the form provided.
- Keep the application confirmation and check for any follow-up notifications through official channels.
Before applying, read our guide to writing a CV. Avoid sharing bank details, login credentials or sensitive documents unless they are justified at the initial stage of the process.

What jobs does Paradores offer?
Roles across Paradores’ professional areas have different duties and requirements. Below are examples of roles related to its operations or listed on the channels consulted; this does not mean that they are all currently open:
- Reception: welcoming guests, reservations, guest service and service coordination.
- Food and beverage: restaurant service, kitchen work, dining service and related roles.
- Maintenance: upkeep of facilities, buildings and equipment.
- Administration and management: support, coordination and corporate processes.
- Management and supervisory roles: department or establishment managers, with training and experience requirements depending on the recruitment process.
Requirements for working at Paradores
Requirements depend on the location and role. Before applying, check the following to avoid submitting an ineligible application:
- Distinguish between a temporary vacancy, a speculative application and a public-sector recruitment announcement.
- Read the rules, opening date and requirements for the role before applying.
- Check the experience and language requirements for reception roles and any other positions that specify them.
- Provide evidence of food-handling or technical training when required for kitchen or maintenance roles.
- Check the Parador, location, shifts and working hours.
Do not assume that a requirement for a technical or management role, or for a previous vacancy, applies across the whole company. The official information for each recruitment process is the authoritative source.
Can you work at Paradores with no experience?
Paradores says it has a development programme called Plan Alevines for young people with relevant training and no experience, as well as other opportunities subject to requirements. The existence of entry-level programmes does not mean that every recruitment announcement accepts applicants with no experience.
If you have not yet had a job, it may help to include your education, work placements, volunteering, languages and projects that demonstrate relevant skills. Give each section prominence according to the job description.
How to submit your CV to Paradores
Paradores’ official careers website offers the option to register for future opportunities. The process involves completing a form and keeping your profile up to date. This may help the company find out about your application, but it does not replace applying for a specific advertised vacancy.
Check the data processing terms and attach only the documents requested. If you are interested in a particular establishment, also check the current vacancies at that Parador.
Temporary work and hotel jobs
The official website lists temporary vacancies at different Paradores. Roles in reception, food and beverage, cleaning, kitchen work, maintenance and management may become available as needs arise.
Before applying, check the working hours, hospitality schedules, shifts, start date and location. A temporary role should not be presented as permanent employment simply because it is with a publicly owned chain.
Public recruitment announcements: permanent positions and processes
Paradores publishes public-sector recruitment announcements with documentation, requirements and stages. In June 2026 it announced recruitment processes for 645 positions, but those application deadlines should not be assumed to still be open.
Check the official platform for the current status of recruitment announcements and the latest documentation. Review the rules, any tests, the selection process and deadlines before preparing your application.
Pay and working conditions at Paradores
Pay depends on the job category, workplace, working hours, supplements and applicable working conditions. It is not appropriate to apply a reception employee’s salary to kitchen or maintenance roles, or to use an old figure from a recruitment announcement. Read the rules and specific vacancy details to find out about pay.
Also compare working hours, commute, shifts, work arrangements, training and any conditions that affect day-to-day life. A figure from another company or an unofficial website is not enough to assess a specific offer.
How to prepare your CV for Paradores
It is not advisable to use exactly the same cover letter and professional profile for every role. To make your application clearer, consider the following:
- Decide whether you are applying for a temporary role, a public recruitment announcement or making a speculative application.
- For a recruitment announcement, download and study the official rules.
- In hospitality, highlight your genuine experience serving guests or customers.
- Include languages and certificates relevant to the role.
- Note the deadlines and application method, especially for public-sector employment.
If the application allows you to attach additional text, prepare a brief cover letter explaining which role you are looking for and what relevant skills you can offer. Avoid repeating every line of your CV.
