Chalet Chef/Manager

Description

We are currently looking for one talented Chalet Chef/Manager for next winter.

You will be responsible for the day to day running of your chalet ensuring that all aspects of your guests stay & operations within the chalet run smoothly & efficiently. This particular chalet is owned by a set of families, who visit several times a season (often with friends!).

When cheffing you will be responsible for preparing meals for guests according to their requirements. Our guests pay for the food at cost at the end of the week (chefs are not constrained to cooking to a budget) and so they can have as many or as few courses as they wish. This allows our chefs to be creative and to vary the menus that they design for our guests to suit individual guests' needs. Before guests arrive in resort we identify exactly what the guests require, including any specialities so the chef needs to be flexible, experienced and creative as each week can present a different challenge.

The job includes budgeting, shopping, preparing, and cooking for guests for breakfast, afternoon tea, evening meal and on occasion preparing lunch. Although experience and qualifications are very important, a love of cuisine, exceptional hygiene and a flexible attitude are essential for this role.

As you will also manage your chalet, you will be responsible for the efficient management and running of the chalet and you'll ensure that guests are well cared for and all their needs are being met. The job includes serving food, ordering wine, accounting, billing, organising guests’ requirements, booking restaurants, cleaning and generally managing the chalet.

You will be responsible for ensuring that the chalet is spotless and well maintained. Customer service experience is clearly vital along with a mature, caring attitude that shows that nothing is too much trouble for your guests. You must be confident with excel for stock taking and have attention to detail with figures for the billing of the guests and bookkeeping required.

The package is worth up to £465/week/person PLUS the best tips in the 3 Valleys. Pay £150-200/week depending on qualification & experience, ski pass, ski hire, food allowance, great LIVE OUT accommodation and travel to and from resort.

Requirements

Successful candidate will have great customer service skills, good catering experience, some accounting and stocktaking knowledge and, if possible, be well-versed in housekeeping and table service.

Ability to ski/snowboard or be willing to learn!

You will need a European passport, UK NI Number and EHIC card
