Description
Do you want to spend the winters in the mountains helping to tutor some of Britain's up and coming winter sports athletes? We are currently recruiting for a Cook to join our Pastoral Team.
The Team Evolution alpine race academy programme is designed for athletes looking to work within a professional structure that is dedicated to their development both on and off the slopes. Team Evolution provides alpine training opportunities for committed young student-athletes who are looking to pursue their athletic and educational goals, “In Pursuit of Excellence.”
The academy training base in Radstadt, Austria provides a "home away from home" where the student athletes and staff live for the season. In a training environment focused on hard work and commitment, healthy eating and an understanding of nutrition is vitally important. The staffing team is made up of knowledgeable and committed pastoral staff, tutors, coaches who are passionate about their roles in developing the athletes and the programme, and obviously love the mountains!
In a training environment that is ever changing, the cook is needed to be flexible and happy to adapt plans at short notice, catering for between 5 and 25 people on a daily basis.
