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
You will get to know your guests really well during their stay. Guests often leave feedback remarking how their Chalet Host made their stay special and memorable.
A typical day
You will start work daily around 7am in time to cook and serve breakfast to your guests at 8am.
After breakfast, you will prepare afternoon tea, clean the bedrooms and communal areas and do some preparation 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 to.
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 for food supplies yourself. 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.
An ideal candidate for this job is...
Personable - you need to be a real people person. Chatting and getting to know guests to make them feel at home.
Professional - we are proud to receive a lot of excellent guest feedback so we set high standards for catering and customer service.
Organised - Chalet Hosting is very hard work and requires a lot of planning and multi-tasking.
