Chalet couple (Chef & Host)
Our last couple was with us for three seasons and are now continuing their travels. As such we're looking to
employ a passionate, friendly, hardworking, active couple to help manage our
chalets in Chamonix starting this spring 2019 for the summer and then continuing
hopefully throughout winter 19/20.
You will mainly be working in Chalet Tissieres, our 9 bedroom chalet in Chamonix
(sleeps 16 – 28 people), but depending on bookings may also be required to help
out in our 7 bedroom Chalet Rubicon in Les Houches (sleeps 16 – 20).
THE CHEF: Your food and your warm personality are an integral part of our chalet holiday experience. You will
have full input into menu creation and wine selection to compliment your great
food. You will have had significant restaurant standard cooking background and
the ability to create and deliver high quality 'fine dining' dishes in winter
(6 day meal plan covering breakfast, afternoon tea/cakes & canapes, and a
three course meal) and in summer hearty delicious home cooked food for active
guests (mixture of buffet service and plated service). You are a team player
and will also be required to assist in general chalet duties if and when time
allows.
THE HOSTESS/MANAGER will be a warm, friendly, outgoing, well presented, organised
individual with an eye for detail. You are responsible for creating a great
holiday atmosphere and ensuring the chalet is well presented and meets our high
cleaning standards, which involves managing external cleaning staff if and when
required.
Your role involves the coordination of daily bed changes in line with our online
booking system, managing dinner numbers, the linen counts in and out to the
laundrette, the honesty bar, client check out payments, general cleanliness of
the chalet. In WINTER your role involves a higher degree of personal
interaction with the clients and you will both be responsible for providing
in-valley transfers to and from the slopes in our 8 seater minibuses. This
means you will need to be confident and competent drivers.
Applicants must be available from May until end of September 2019 or April 2020. Both of
you must have the ability to work in France and have a clean EU driving license
for more than 3 years, be of a mature disposition, and be non-smokers.
Package comes with exclusive use of a full board off-site 35 m2 duplex chalet with fire
place at 200 meters from the chalet, MBU season pass, free ski equipment hire
(winter), use of a company minibus and an excellent weekly salary of up to €210
euros per person per week depending on experience.
This is an excellent opportunity to strike that perfect work life balance in a fantastic environment.
We look forward to hearing from you! www.iceandorange.com Renske & Damian
