RESORTS:

Val d'Isere.

JOBS:

• Chalet Staff
  
• Chalet Assistant

QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must be a British passport holder and be over the age of 21. Applicants under 21 years old need to show exceptional qualities to be considered. All applicants must be British passport holders with a valid UK National insurance number.

YSE say "all of our staff come to Val d'Isère because they want to ski almost every day for five months, on some of the best slopes in the world. You don't have to be a good skier - it doesn't even matter if you've never tried skiing at all - but you have to be a fairly sporty, outdoors sort of person to contemplate a season in the Alps."

The requirements for each position are as follows:

Chalet Staff
This position consists of cooking, cleaning and looking after guests. Anyone applying must be ready and able to excel in all three. When considering applicants YSE take particular note of qualifications and/or experience in cooking and cleaning, references from previous employers, and especially a cheerful, friendly and sensible personality. YSE study your menus carefully and suggest you make the best meals you can actually cook (regardless of budget).

Chalet Assistant
YSE also employ a number of Chalet Assistants who work alongside Chalet Staff cleaning the chalet, setting and clearing the table, serving meals, washing up, etc. Some Chalet Assistants turn out to be sufficiently competent cooks to run their own chalet, but most spend the winter cleaning and serving. It is hard, repetitive work, but there's a great team spirit, and many people are delighted not to have to use their brains too much for a few months! Again, when considering applicants YSE will take particular note of experience in cleaning and waitressing, references from previous employers, and especially a cheerful, friendly and sensible personality.

Staff will need to be available from the end of November to the beginning of May.

PACKAGE:

While working for YSE you are paid a monthly wage in arrears in Britain, provided with board and lodging, a lift pass, certain items of uniform clothing and the use of skis, boots and poles. Transportation is provided to the resort at the end of November and back to Britain in early May.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

Some Chalet Staff work in pairs. If there is someone you want to work with, send your applications together.

To apply fill in an online application form and they will send you their full recruitment pack.
