Handy Person - France

Stop… Hammer time!

A winter season with Skibound is like no other. 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.

Our club hotels, resorts and shining reputation means Skibound are market leaders in ski experiences for both guests and staff!

The low down as a Handyperson…

During the busy Winter season, our hotels require some TLC. Leaky taps, bunk bed repairs, snow clearing, and light bulb changing are all in a day’s work as a handyperson. And don’t forget, you’ll be working at the top of a mountain, so you’ll need to be resourceful – no B&Q here! You should also be able to work safely and efficiently and be ready to get stuck in with other hotel duties when required. You’ll sometimes be working independently but will thrive as part of a bigger team working across all departments.

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 we’re looking for… 

  • No formal qualifications needed but previous experience in maintenance or a specific trade is essential
  • Responsible and shows initiative
  • Pay close attention to health and safety details
  • Take pride in your work and complete all tasks to a high standard no matter how small the job
  • Happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in with all departments of the hotel to support your colleagues (this will include pot wash, changing and making beds and cleaning across the hotel)

What’s in it for you…

  • Competitive, seasonal salary
  • All your meals
  • The option to opt into a seasonnaire pack which includes: accommodation, lift pass, Skibound ski equipment hire, Wi-Fi and laundry facilities
  • French social security insurance
  • Role specific training once in resort
  • Role progression and the chance to return for future winter and summer seasons
  • Further seasonal opportunities with our sister brands, Travelbound and JCA

The extra bits…

  • We ask applicants to be fully available from mid-November 2021 to April 2022
  • Applicants must be in possession of a valid EU passport or documentation for eligibility to work in France e.g. Carte de sejour
  • Please apply for just ONE role – The role you feel you are best suited to and most interested in. We will assess your application against other vacancies without you have to apply for multiple positions
  • If you are applying as a couple, please apply INDIVIDUALLY for your chosen roles and include the name of your friend or partner or family member in your application
  • We receive a very high number of applications each year. Please allow up to 4 weeks to receive a response on your application – All applications will be contacted whether you are successful or not but feedback cannot always be provided due to the volume of applications
  • As a company, SkiBound are carefully monitoring advice and information provided by the UK and French Governments in relation to Covid-19. Any updates or changes will be communicated to applicants accordingly
