At Stanford Skiing we aim to provide a winter experience, not just for our guests but also for our staff. We are a tight knit team of 9 in resort who work hard but are actively encouraged to get out onto the slopes and make the most of our time.

Megeve is such a beautiful resort and fairly unknown by the British market so you do feel like you are in France rather than an extension of the UK. We have a large return rate of guests and one of the reasons they keep coming back to us is our wonderful staff and you can help to keep that going. We look after our staff, we all live together and share the journey through winter, many return for a second (or further) season and many more remain our lifelong friends.

We are looking for a friendly, helpful couple with great cooking and housekeeping skills that love looking after people and love skiing! NB, you do need to have an EU passport as sadly we can't employ UK passport holders in France any more.

The Job - Chef

You need to have flair, imagination, great presentation skills, the ability to cook to a high standard and a genuine passion for food. As a relatively small company, we're open to individual ideas and originality in our kitchens. We can give you set menu plans and templates to get you started, but one of the best things about working for us is your freedom to be creative and not cook the same meals week-in, week-out. We pride ourselves on the standard of cuisine that we offer and want you to be part of it.
