Description
Work as a chalet host in Val d'Isere! We are looking for a chalet host to manage our range of apartments & chalets in terms of cooking, cleaning & client servicing.

Chalet Hosts will report to the Resort Operations Manager.

Your main responsibilities will be:

* To manage the changeover of weekly clients and the work associated with arrival and departure of clients
* To liaise with clients on arrival, during their stay and on departure
* To cook for clients who have paid for a scatered holiday to include breakfast, afternoon tea, 3 course evening meal
* To clean for clients who have paid for a scatered holiday on a daily basis
* To manage a scatered budget and produce accounts for scatered weeks
* To clean apartments & chalets when required if you are not working in a scatered apt./chalet for the week
* To provide support to the Operations Manager & her team. Such other duties as the management may from time to time reasonably require.

If you have more than 8 guests at a time, you'll also have a full-time assistant to help you.

A typical working day is difficult to predict; it depends how confident you are if you are on a catered week. If you are not on cooking duties, we work to a rough schedule of 8.30am - 11.30am and 4pm - 8pm and all day Saturdays (changeover day). These are rough working hours, as the tourist/service industry is unpredictable and circumstances dictate hours. You have 1 day off a week.

If you are looking to spend a winter working in Val d'Isere and would like to work for a young, lively company, click the 'apply now' button below and attach your CV and complete the cover note explaining why you think you are suitable.

* Be comfortable with a role that may alter from week to week. Adaptability and flexibility are crucial.
* Ability to work on your own in properties and be trusted with your responsibilities
* Depth of character to deal with a vast range of personalities that stay in your property
* Good presentation skills
* People skills as you must interact with clients, not hide in the kitchen
* Organised mind

Applicants must also have a UK National Insurance number, a UK bank account, an EU passport or valid French working VISA and a new European Health Card (EHIC).
