The Role
Our Resort Head Chalet Chefs are key to our delivery of delicious, high-quality meals to all our guests, from our Chalet Chefs. You will be managing a team of chefs in our resort chalets. We work with high quality suppliers and we expect you to manage, in addition to your team, our orders, stocks, purchases and food quality delivery, so that as a team, we can exceed all guests culinary expectations. Ski Famille guests look forward to returning from a day on the slopes to a well-presented homemade meal in a beautiful chalet; the skills of you and your resort team can make their holiday.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident chef ideally with supervisory or management experience to demonstrate and develop their skills. You will be well presented, highly organised and comfortable working under your own initiative to manage a team and numerous different kitchens. You will work with the Resort Manager and Executive Head Chef to source and order your supplies, being mindful to budgets and cost control at all times. You will be working in many chalets across your resort, and often ‘thrown into the deep end’. You will also be expected to cook in properties at least 4 evenings a week and to cover for your staff members time off. This role would perfectly suit a returning chef looking to develop into a supervisory or training role.
Our chalets sleep between 6 and 30 guests and most kitchens are open plan, allowing you to share your passion and mountain experiences with the guests.

How to apply
What's it like to work for us?
“Doing a season in Rebs has been amazing!!! It’s a perfect ski location, and a good mix of chill and fun, as we’re so close to VT for nights out. It’s been such a family feel, and the whole team have become friends for life!”
“I thoroughly recommend doing a season with Ski Famille, the managers are so lovely and the working hours are very fair, I feel like I’ve had so much time off compared to other companies, which has meant it’s felt like we’re really here to enjoy ourselves!”
“Been an amazing season with amazing staff and skiing. Feel so lucky to have had such an incredible experience.”
“We honestly had the best management team. It was one of the things I was most nervous about going into the season, but they made everything so easy, were so supportive and truly built the best team.”
“All the chalets are less than 5 minutes away from the slopes, and then you have the biggest ski resort in the world at your feet. If you are keen, you can go skiing literally every single day.”
