  Help

  We are currently looking for reliable and detail oriented people to join our team of dedicated housekeepers who do the changeovers in our self-catered chalets. The chalets are all luxury properties and we need our team to take pride in their work and be happy to maintain our high standards.
  The job involves working 14 hours per weekend across a Saturday and Sunday to prepare the chalets for in-coming groups of guests and there are also occasional mid-week cleans as well for anyone keen to earn some additional income.
  During the summer months this leaves you plenty of time off to mountain bike, hike, swim, climb, raft, parapente – the list is endless and we will also provide accommodation in our spacious staff chalet which has a huge garden complete with bike storage and barbecue. This job would suit couples or sets of friends if you prefer to share a room with someone you know.
  
  Tasks include:
  • Stripping & re-making beds
  • Thoroughly cleaning bathrooms, kitchen & all living areas
  • Tidying patios, terraces & garden areas including cleaning garden furniture, barbecues, watering plants and a little basic gardening.
  • Washing towels and sorting laundry for collection.
  • Keeping store cupboards well organised
  
  Skills & experience required
  • Recent cleaning or housekeeping experience (able to provide a reference) • Hospitality experience would be beneficial
  • Good level of spoken English
  • Driving license & own transport would be an advantage but is not essential
  • EU passport or Carte De Sejour is preferred.
  Employment dates for a summer contract are from the mid-June until early September
  
  Package:
  In exchange for 14 hours work per week we are offering accommodation in a shared double/twin room in our lovely staff chalet in Montriond plus a weekly wage in line with SMIC (11.65 euros per hour gross). T
  his equates to a monthly net pay of about 540 euros if you work a total of 60 hours.
  
  You then have the option to take on other work outside of the weekend and if we have additional work available then we can offer it to you at an agreed hourly rate.
