The Role
Our Chalet Chefs are key to delivering delicious, high quality meals to all our guests, from our youngest to oldest! We work with high quality suppliers and we expect you to exceed all guests’ culinary expectations. Our guests look forward to returning from a day on the slopes to a well presented meal in a beautiful chalet; your skills, ability and attention to detail can make their holiday.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone confident in the kitchen to demonstrate their experience and love of food to a wide age range of customers. You will be well presented, highly organised and comfortable working under your own initiative to manage a kitchen and ensure meals are cooked to a high standard. You will work with Resort Managers and Resort Chalet Managers to source and order your supplies, being mindful of budgets and cost control at all times.
Our chalets sleep between 12 and 30 guests and most kitchens are open plan, allowing you to share your passion and mountain experiences with the guests.
If you wish to spend the winter working with a friend or partner, this would be a great job to apply for.
