We are a small ski company based in Val Cenis, a traditional French resort with excellent skiing in the Maurienne valley of the Alps.
We are looking for 5-6 English-speaking reps with EU passports for this season 22/23 (from mid-December to mid-April), whose role will include:
- Skiing with our clients in our instructor-led afternoon Group Ski, Mon-Fri afternoons
- Socialising with clients during the week (visits, Bar Night, après-ski)
- Cleaning on Saturdays/airport run
Being able to ski is not the most important requirement for this role, however; we are primarily looking for people who:
- Are reliable, flexible, and hardworking
- Are friendly and outgoing, with excellent people-skills
- Have great teamwork skills (you will live and work with your colleagues, so this is crucial)
- Are happy to get stuck in and take initiative
- Can work in a dependable way within a largely informal setting, whose main job is to engage with clients and make sure they have the best experience possible
Perks:
- Living in a traditional French village for 4.5 months, with an incredible opportunity to become an excellent skier and learn French in a hidden gem of the French Alps
- Meeting lovely people – both clients and locals – and developing customer service skills
- Accommodation, lift pass, ski equipment, insurance, travel to/from resort are included for the season
We’re a small company and rely on return business, which is why our customer service and guaranteeing our clients enjoy their holiday, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, is vital.
A Typical Day in the Job
A typical week starts on Saturday, which is the changeover day. This is the hardest day of the week, which includes doing the airport run, cleaning apartments, and putting clients into their apartments upon arrival. The rest of the week is much easier; Sunday evenings we visit clients to be sure everything is fine and to explain how the week will run for them. Mon-Fri afternoons from 2-4.30pm is Group Ski (groups based roughly on ability, led by ESF instructors - we go at the back of the group) then apres-ski down on the piste front. Monday night is Bar Night, Tues and Fri nights we do another visit to clients.
