At Le Ski we have a range of chalets, catering from 2-23 guests. As a Chalet Host you will create a welcoming home-from-home atmosphere for your guests, preparing and serving fantastic home-made meals and going the extra mile with customer service to make sure their holiday is one to remember.
Job Specification
Running your own chalet, you will be on hand to ensure guests relax and enjoy their holiday! Catering for up to 10 guests alone or in a pair or team in our larger chalets.
Cooking We look for candidates with previous professional catering experience or those who have completed a chalet cookery course. Each day you will prepare and serve a delicious set menu including cooked breakfasts, afternoon tea, canapés and three course dinners. All meals are home made. Dishes should taste delicious and be excellently presented.
Cleaning You will clean the chalet daily, change towels mid-week and carry out a more thorough deep clean on changeover day. It's hard work so a decent level of fitness is a must!
Customer Service Guests are excited to meet you and welcome you into their group for the week. You are encouraged to dine with guests during their stay and help make their holiday memorable!
A typical day
You will start work daily around 7am in time to cook and serve breakfast to the guests at 8am. After breakfast, you will prepare afternoon tea, clean the bedrooms and communal areas and prepare for the evening meal. Finishing around 11am, you're free to ski or do as you please during the day! Afternoon tea is laid out for guests to help themselves.
In the evening, you will return to work in time to prepare and serve canapés and fizz before a three course home cooked meal. It's a real dinner party atmosphere in the evening and you will be encouraged to join in with your guests. Many will invite you to dine with them or join them for a glass of fizz! Unlike other chalet companies, you do not have to shop yourselves. The chalet managers are in charge of budgeting and ordering food and wine so all you have to do is collect it from our in-resort stores and take a weekly stock check.
