The Role

Our chefs look after our guests in our larger chalets sleeping up to 21 guests, adults and children up to 5 families. You will be working with one or more chalet hosts.

You will provide breakfast, afternoon tea and a 3-course meal, plus a separate children’s tea earlier in the evening. The chalet hosts will work alongside you, to provide a seamless and professional environment at all times.
As a catering professional you will ensure your kitchen is always clean and carry out a weekly deep clean. As part of the chalet team you will probably assist with some housekeeping duties on changeover day, to ensure the chalet is prepared for new arrivals.
