We are working with a luxury chalet operator in St Anton to find a Chef and Host couple to run one of their intimate chalets, catering for up to 12 guests. This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced couple to take full ownership of a small, characterful chalet, delivering a warm and personalised guest experience from the kitchen through to the front of house.
Working together as a pair, one of you will lead the kitchen and the other will lead the hosting, while both remaining flexible and hands-on across each other's areas. The chef will help with service when hosting larger groups, and there is no rigid front-of-house/back-of-house divide — both of you will interact directly with guests throughout their stay. You will be part of a wider resort team of around 30 staff, working within a well-established and supportive company structure.
Live-in accommodation is provided in a three-bedroom apartment in the centre of town, just across the road from the chalet, shared with two other members of staff. A dedicated driver team supports the resort, so no driving duties are required in this role.
You MUST hold an EU passport.

- Plan and prepare breakfast, afternoon tea and a multi-course evening dinner for up to 12 guests
- Deliver a warm, professional welcome and food service to guests throughout their stay

- Liaise closely with resort management and the wider team of around 30 staff
- Support colleagues across the wider chalet portfolio as required during busy periods
