Chalet Host

We are looking for social people with a hospitality background to join our overseas team as a Chalet Host in one of our Chalet-Hotels next winter. The successful applicant will need to hold an EU passport (or have the right) to work in France, Austria or Spain.

Our Hosts are the cogs that drive our operation in resort - Without them keeping our rooms and accommodation clean, assisting our chefs with food preparation, dealing with guest requests, and running meal services, our chalet-hotels would grind to a halt As the face of the company, it is the Hosts’ job to ensure our guests are not on just any ski holiday but to make sure they have the true ‘Ski Miquel Experience’.

This is a role for sociable people who are willing to work hard and enjoy all that the mountains have to offer. If you do, your work ethic will be rewarded with a job that gives you plenty of time on the slopes, as well as interacting with our guests, making it ideal for someone who is outgoing and loves meeting new people.

**The Role**:
This is a diverse role, with a variety of shifts each day. The following is an outline of the principal tasks that are expected of our Chalet Hosts over the course of a week:
In the morning you will assist with preparing and serving breakfast.

Following breakfast, you will clear the tables are prepare them for afternoon tea, as well as making sure the communal areas are clean and tidy. Guest rooms are cleaned every other day (including the toilets and showers) and this should all be completed within a few hours, which means you should be free to get out on the mountain during the afternoons.

Afternoon tea is served from 16:30-17:30 after which the chef may require assistance with preparation of the evening meal and canapés, which you will serve in the bar before dinner.

Dinner is served at 19:30 daily and consists of 3 courses, including chalet wine, and is finished off with a cheese course. Once dinner has been served, the dishes have been washed and the dining room has been cleaned, mopped, and prepared for breakfast, your day is done.

Changeover day is the longest day, with deep cleaning of all bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas before the new guests arrive, making sure the chalet-hotel is warm and welcoming for the guests’ arrival. Soup is provided after the guests’ check-in, with the full dinner service in the evening.

The Chalet Host role requires early starts, hard work and effective teamwork, but provides you with rewarding guest interaction and a great opportunity to explore the mountains in your free time
