Job Description

Colletts 4

We are looking for individual Chefs or an established couple or a pair of friends to act as a Chalet Host/Chef couple - to run one of two 22 – 30 bed Alpine Chalets in the Dolomites of northern Italy.

The chalets in question sleeps between 22 and 30 guests, and would entail cooking for up to 30 - 35 people. As well as the domestic management of the chalet (cleaning, food ordering etc.) you would be making breakfast and a three-course evening meal six days a week, with one full day off. The emphasis is on creating a home from home' atmosphere and providing excellent home cooked food' to a dinner party standard: it has to be special. You would very much be at the heart of our guests' holiday, looking after them as if they were staying in your own home.

You would need to be great team players, tolerant, understanding and empathetic. The chalet is run by a team of seven people, one of whom is the Chalet Manager. The rest of the team are the Walk Organisers who accompany our guests on mountain walks. They are also your fellow Hosts' in the chalet, with as much responsibility to the day to day running and hospitality as you. On a day to day basis they take it in turns to help with the domestic management of the place: cleaning, washing up, dinner service etc.

The relationships and hopefully, friendships, which develop as a result of working and living so closely with your colleagues are a big part of the seasonal experience for many people, and the sense of camaraderie and positive energy which is created is something our guests enjoy and comment on.

Experience Required

One of you certainly needs to be a great cook or chef. We don't mind if you don't have formal qualifications but experience of cooking for numbers, ideally in a chalet situation, would then be a great advantage. Your food would have to be special! We pride ourselves on offering great home cooked food, to a dinner party standard. So, as well as a great combination of tastes you also need to have a focus on good presentation.

The Package

As well as a weekly wage of £120 per person we provide you with all meals (except the evening meal on the day off) accommodation, travel to and from resort & medical insurance, and a two-week period of orientation and training at the start of the season in the Dolomites.


The Dolomites in the summer

The Dolomites are effectively the south eastern corner of the main Alpine chain and boast access to superb walking, cycling and climbing in one of the most awe-inspiring mountain ranges in the world. Go to our main website to see what we offer to our guests and to get an idea of the amazing terrain that characterises the area.

Winter Season Opportunities

We enjoy the continuity of having many past staff members returning to us each season. Many people who do a summer are interested in staying on for the winter, when the dolomites are transformed into a winter wonderland, boasting one of the most extensive ski areas in the world.

Qualifications

    • Current First Aid certificates
    • Current Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificates
    Both can be done online if you don't already have them.
  • If successful, you must have permission to work in the UK by the start of your employment
