Recruitment overview

Please read this overview for a description of working for YSE, and information on how to apply.

Although we have 21 chalets in Val d’Isère – substantially more than any of our competitors – we are, and always will be, a small firm. We recruit our staff carefully, and train them thoroughly.

All of our staff come to Val d’Isère because they want to ski almost every day for five months on some of the best slopes in the world. You don’t have to be a good skier – it doesn’t even matter if you’ve never tried skiing at all – but you have to be a fairly sporty, outdoors sort of person to contemplate a season in the Alps.

Applicants under 21 years old need to show exceptional qualities to be considered. All applicants must hold a British passport and a valid UK National insurance number.

We rarely take staff who have completed a season for another company, with the exception of very good chefs and cooks.

While working for YSE you are paid a monthly wage in arrears in Britain. You are provided with board and lodging, a lift pass, certain items of uniform clothing and the use of ski boots, skis and poles (or a snowboard).

We transport you to the resort at the end of November and back to Britain in early May.

If you wish to apply to work in Winter 2012-13, please read the relevant job description, select the correct application form and email it to us with a recent photo of yourself. Applications without a photo will not be considered.
