Sous Chef - French Alps – Winter 24/25
A winter season with Skibound is like no other. With over 30 years’ experience in the industry, we offer a unique ski experience to budding skiers from all over the world with school and youth groups at the heart of our business. You will be based at one of our 3 lively club hotels across 3 resorts in the French Alps, home to some of Europe’s best skiing and après - Alpe d’Huez, Les Menuires and Serre Chevalier.
What will I be doing as a Sous Chef?
At Skibound, we offer our school guests a set menu over the course of their stay, with cold buffet options available for breakfast, a buffet style lunch with anything from soups, salads, jacket potatoes, marinated chicken wings and build-your-own-sandwiches and a 2 course sit down evening meal. Our food caters to a younger palette and a more advanced menu for our adult guests.
In our Skilt clubhotel in Les Menuires, we also operate a busy bar and restaurant for any holiday makers in the resort. The Skilt is one of the busiest and most popular establishments in the entire resort as it is placed right at the bottom of one of the most popular pistes. This is an a la carte menu operating from lunchtime to dinner service. Our menu is perfect for hungry skiers looking for a quick bite to eat or a more sophisticated meal in the evening, from Croque Monsieur and pasta dishes at lunchtime to tuna niçoise salad and high-quality steak at dinnertime.
As a Sous Chef with Skibound you will be second in command to the Head Chef of the Skilt clubhotel and restaurant in Les Menuires. You will be happy to take direction and work collaboratively with your Head Chef as well as showing confidence in leading the kitchen brigade when needed.
This is a very hands-on role and includes cooking alongside your team, as well as managing stock control and reviewing health and safety standards across the kitchen. Working in the mountains is an experience like no other, we will provide you with training on how things are done in a French kitchen
You will be passionate about food and relish feedback you receive from happy and full guests. You and your team will also be responsible for providing delicious staff meals to keep the clubhotel team motivated throughout the season.
You will learn from your Head Chef but also be happy to share your own experiences and knowledge with more junior members of the team. You will be approachable so your team can come to you for help in the kitchen and you will also support the Head Chef and Hotel Manager in solving any issues with your kitchen team.
Our motto at Skibound is ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ We are looking for positive, can-do individuals who share our teamwork ethos – Our job adverts will give you a good flavour for each job role but other duties within the scope of each role may be required.
