We are recruiting for a part time assistant to join our team for the coming winter season. This varied position of approximately 12 hours per week, can be partly fulfilled from home, plus 1-2 x half days around Samoens.
The role entails offering administration support for the team, including processing ski pass orders, invoicing, and assisting with website updates. The other section of the role includes meeting with chalet managers and delivering ski passes for their properties, plus assisting in the changeover of a chalet in Samoens on occasional Sundays.
Availability from mid December to mid April. Exact hours and days of work offer some flexibility and can be discussed further. However availability most Wednesdays or Thursdays, and approximately 6 x mornings on a Sunday would be the perfect fit.
This position would suit an individual looking for a flexible role to fit around other employment, or commitments. Full training is provided, however those who have plenty of admin experience and a great attention to detail would naturally be best suited.
This is either a CDD/seasonal contract, or for someone already self employed. Please note accommodation is not provided, therefore this would suit an individual already in the area. Transport and a driving license is required with expenses covered for car usage.
If this appeals to you and you already have the right to work in France, please do get in touch for further information.
