Seasonal roles With Alp Leisure Ltd

Chalet Manager

The Chalet Manager is responsible for the efficient management and running of the property, overseeing all guest activities whilst in resort with us and generally ensuring that guests are being well cared for and all their needs are being met. The job also includes accounting to a high level, billing guests at the end of their stay, organising any in-resort transport requirements, serving food and wine, booking restaurants. The Manager is also responsible for ensuring the property is spotless and well maintained (assisted by the rest of the chalet and maintenance team).

Chef

The Chalet Chef is responsible for preparing meals for guests according to their requirements. As guests pay for the food at cost at the end of the week they can have as many or as few courses as they wish. Before guests arrive in the resort we identify what they 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 menu planning and budgeting for each new group of guests plus shopping for, preparing and cooking; breakfast, afternoon tea, evening meal and (if requested) kids suppers and lunch. Hygiene is of upmost importance and the kitchen and storage areas need to be kept spotless at all times. The Chef works alongside the Chalet Manager assisting in all aspects of running the chalet. It can be highly demanding at times, but with every opportunity to show case your skills and make fantastic contacts.
