Housekeeper
Joining our hotel housekeeping team requires much more than just polishing the shiny bits – our guests will spend most of their time with us in their rooms scrutinising your handiwork and forming their opinions, good or bad, of their “snow experience”. So we need people who have a true eye for detail, who will take health and hygiene standards seriously and deliver a top class clean within prescribed time limits and ski mum specifications. If you would describe yourself as a “clean freak”, hold yourself accountable for mess and are physically fit enough to carry 50 tons of linen up and down 3 flights of stairs over the course of a season, all while still waking up each morning with the energy and drive to get out on the slopes and ski, then maybe you are the housekeeper we’re looking for.
