Housekeeper

Housekeeper for Ski Miquel

We are looking for sociable person with a background in room or property cleaning and/or kitchen portering to join our overseas team as a Housekeeper in one of our chalet-hotels next winter.  

Our Housekeepers are a key member of the team, assisting our front-of-house team during service and it is their responsibility to ensure that our accommodation and guest rooms are kept clean and tidy.  Without their behind-the-scenes work and eye for detail, our guests would not be able to enjoy the true ‘Ski Miquel Experience’.

This is a role for people who are willing to work hard and enjoy all that the mountains have to offer.  If you do, your work ethic will be rewarded with a job that gives you plenty of time on the slopes.

The Role

The role has two main focal points in assisting with clearing up the food service and ensuring our properties are kept spotless for our guests to enjoy.  The shifts will vary each day, allowing for you to enjoy time on the mountain most days.  The following is an outline of the principal tasks that are expected of our Housekeepers over the course of a normal week:

In the morning you will be required to assist with clearing up the breakfast service and help prepare the dining room for afternoon tea.  This will be followed by making sure all the communal areas of the chalet-hotel are clean for the guests to enjoy later in the day.

Our guest rooms are cleaned twice a week, following the breakfast service, and this process will be overseen by the Housekeeper with assistance from a Chalet Host.

In the evening, the focus is on helping to clear up dinner, so you will join the team halfway through service to assist with washing the dishes and clearing the decks before setting up for the following morning's breakfast.

Changeover day is the longest day of the week, with deep cleaning of all bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas before the new guests arrive.  As Housekeeper, you will lead the way with this, ensuring the chalet-hotel is warm and welcoming for their arrival and will be responsible for the weekly sign-off on the chalet-hotel meeting our cleanliness standards.

The Housekeeper role requires high attention to detail and hard work alongside the rest of the team, but is a satisfying role and provides a great opportunity to explore the mountains in your free time.
