Your role will also involve managing any issues with your kitchen team with the support of the Hotel Manager. This is a very hands-on cooking Head Chef role, so you will be passionate about food and relish feedback you receive from happy and full guests. You will also need to be a great multitasker to ensure that the other key tasks are undertaken to achieve smooth and successful services. This includes stock control, ordering alongside the Hotel Manager, understanding dietary requirements, budgeting and due diligence for cleanliness and health and safety standards. Working in a mountain kitchen is a unique experience and we will provide you with training on how things are done in France! 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. What skills and experience will I need to be a Head Chef in a clubhotel? Confidence in heading up a catering team. Previous experience as a Head Chef in a high-volume environment Proven experience of independent stock control and ordering An excellent understanding of the Health and Safety regulations (Food & Hygiene, HACCP, COSHH) Experience in preparing meals to cater for all dietary requirements.
