Our Mission
Party Hard Travel started after our founders went on a budget party holiday to Ayia Napa and realised how easy it was to miss out on the best events. They wanted to make that experience better for the next group of travellers.
Today, our mission is simple: we’re all about giving young people the best week of their lives, with access to the events and experiences they’re excited about at a price that works for them.
With over a decade of experience, we bring together some of Europe’s biggest events in our Ultimate Events Packages.
40+ reps hired each year

Pick your role
🌴 Overseas Rep
As a rep, you’re the face of Party Hard overseas. You make sure young travellers get everything they’ve booked, have the best week of their summer and stay safe doing it. It’s fast-paced and people-focused, and a strong fit if you want to build skills in customer service, events, tourism or social media.
There are two rep roles this year. Both share the same core job – customer service, guest safety and resort operations come first:
- Customer Service & Events Rep: more involved in event set-up and planning, artist liaison, and working with venues and suppliers.
- Customer Service & Social Media Rep: takes a bigger part in creating and posting content and capturing event highlights for our resort accounts.
Key responsibilities:
- Delivering exceptional customer service throughout guests’ holidays
- Supporting customer safety and wellbeing overseas
- Maintaining a positive social media presence representing the brand
- Assisting with event management and excursions
- Managing clear and professional customer communications
- Building strong supplier and venue relationships
- Upholding and enhancing the Party Hard Travel brand reputation

🎧 DJ / Host
DJs play sets across our events, clubs and venues, reading the crowd and adapting the music. Hosts get the crowd going and keep each event running smoothly with games and vibes. Both work with our destination and venue teams and represent Party Hard at every event.
Already DJing at uni nights or hosting events? This is your next step – and there’s no assessment weekend for this role.
📸 Summer Media Team
You’ll shoot boat parties, beach clubs, pool parties, club nights, DJs and performers. These are professional event photography and videography roles, not general content creator roles. You’ll work to each resort’s event schedule and deliver organised photos and footage on deadline for our website, social media and campaigns.
A brilliant way for photography, film and media students and graduates to build a professional portfolio at some of Europe’s biggest events.
Who we’re looking for
- Current university students or recent graduates
- Confident, outgoing and enthusiastic people
- Strong communication and people skills
- A positive attitude and strong work ethic
- No previous overseas experience required – full training provided
For reps: customer service experience (part-time bar, retail and hospitality jobs all count), social media know-how, GCSE Maths and English, and 3 A-levels or a BTEC equivalent.
For DJs and hosts: confidence performing or speaking in front of a live crowd, availability to work overseas in Summer 2027 and a valid passport.
For the Summer Media Team: experience shooting events, nightlife, festivals, portraits or similar; a portfolio with high-quality images taken in challenging lighting; your own suitable camera and essential professional kit (a phone camera alone isn’t enough); and being comfortable in busy, low-light venues.
