Now hiring for the 2009-2010 season! 1. Who are we? Snowology is a small company run by Monica Abrosimoff and Mike Jubb. We offer fully catered chalet holidays in Sainte Foy. During the 2009-2010 season, we will be running Chalet Sache (sleeping 12-15 guests). We will also be taking on some extra weeks in Chalet Nicole and Chalet Anne (both sleeping 8-10 guests). We pride ourselves on our extremely high repeat guest rate. Our focus is to provide high quality, one-of-a-kind chalet holidays. We aim to exceed the expectations of each of our guests. We provide excellent, imaginative food and present it each evening with loads of energy and enthusiasm - like a dinner party in our home every night! We consistently go out of our way to ensure a fun, lively atmosphere in our chalets. (This may include entertaining our guests by playing games, holding quiz nights, doing magic shows for children etc). We ski with our guests during the week (in Sainte Foy or on Ski Safari to one of the surrounding resorts) taking photos and videos during the day, which we then show in the chalets in the evenings. We make a DVD of the highlights set to music for our guests to take home at the end of their week. Snowology hosts and chefs sit down with guests each evening to enjoy dinner and we find that we get to know people much better as a result. Our guests go home feeling as though they have gained friends rather than been waited on by staff. Monica and Mike are both keen skiers and snowboarders. We chose Sainte Foy because it is a unique resort with a huge off-piste area. It is small and different, just like Snowology! This will be Snowology's seventh season providing catered ski chalet holidays. 2. Who are you? We are looking for energetic people to join our team next season (2009-2010). There are 3 positions available: You must be an enthusiastic, hard working person with a positive attitude. You must have extremely high work standards, be customer-focused, self motivated and be conscientious. You should be able to work independently and with the team. You must be in possession of work permit for the UK, have a valid NI number and a UK bank account. 3. The jobs The hours are long and the job is physically and emotionally demanding and you need to be good at working as part of a team. The job will be challenging but it is also rewarding. You will be part of a team that makes people happy week after week by taking care of details and delivering great holidays. We will work closely with every staff member, reviewing their performance continually and concluding with a formal performance appraisal. Although you can expect hard work, there will be plenty of time to ski (After all, this is why we are all out here!) Click on the links below for detailed job descriptions: 4. Sainte Foy Sainte Foy is a small resort located in the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps, surrounded by the giant 'ski factories' of Tignes, Les Arcs and Val D'Isere. Sainte Foy is unique because it is not well known and has a distinct small town feel. It offers quiet pistes, very few lift queues and fantastic off-piste possibilities. Sainte Foy is an extraordinary place to spend a season. However, it does not have the party atmosphere or the big nightclubs of the mega-resorts. A job here is a much better suited for someone whose priorities are skiing and spending a season in the mountains rather than someone who is looking for a party every night. 5. Time frame Our season runs from November 24, 2000 - April 30, 2010. You must be available and committed for the entire period. There will be approximately 2.5 weeks of training and set-up before our first guests arrive in the middle of December (part of this training may be in the UK). We expect to be busy every week of the season. Our recruiting process for the 2009- 2010 season is now underway. Please read the attached job descriptions, and then get in touch by email indicating which position you are interested in. 6. Perks! - Why work for Snowology?
We are not a huge company but a small partnership committed to treating our staff with respect and ensuring that everyone has a great season! Your package includes fabulous (on mountain) accommodation, food and drinks, a Sainte Foy ski pass, rental of skis/board and boots for the season, medical insurance, and transport to and from the resort (from London). An additional performance-based bonus (0 to 4 times weekly salary) will also be awarded at the end of the season. We appreciate hard work and tend to reward our staff for 'Going the Extra Mile'. In the past our staff treats have included complimentary ski lessons, lift passes to surrounding resorts, off piste days with a qualified guide, heli-skiing trips and tandem paraglide jumps. 7. Staff Accommodation We feel that it is very important to provide our staff with a good quality place to live. We have chosen very centrally located accommodation. Our staff accommodation is made up of a high quality 3-bedroom apartment. The apartment is located just 100m from the lifts and resort centre of Sainte Foy. The accommodation is very flexible. There is a double en-suite room as well as a twin room and a bunkroom that share a large bathroom and separate toilet. The apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen and a sitting room with large sofas complete with TV/ DVD player and wireless internet facilities. We require our staff to take good care of their accommodation.
