The Role
Ski Famille childcare staff are the reason that so many of our guests return year after year. You will be the main focus and barometer if a family has enjoyed their holiday and if of course they will travel with us again.
We are looking for well presented, energetic, engaging individuals who are happy to work in a team environment and are able to provide stimulating, entertaining and safe activities for children from 4 months to 12 years, come rain or shine. Unlike many day nurseries, the children are only on holiday for a week, which means relationships have to be made quickly with new children and their families.
We provide training before the season starts on all aspects of working in a ski resort, for example, taking the children to ski school and activities to suit the environment.

- Preparing and serving lunches with the understanding of dietary requirements and being mindful to dangerous or life threatening allergies
- Providing snacks when appropriate
- Completing the relevant paperwork daily or weekly
- Maintaining and developing a positive working relationship with all our key suppliers, i.e. chalet owners, equipment hire shops and ski schools.

How to apply
What's it like to work for us?
“Doing a season in Rebs has been amazing!!! It’s a perfect ski location, and a good mix of chill and fun, as we’re so close to VT for nights out. It’s been such a family feel, and the whole team have become friends for life!”
“I thoroughly recommend doing a season with Ski Famille, the managers are so lovely and the working hours are very fair, I feel like I’ve had so much time off compared to other companies, which has meant it’s felt like we’re really here to enjoy ourselves!”
“Been an amazing season with amazing staff and skiing. Feel so lucky to have had such an incredible experience.”
“We honestly had the best management team. It was one of the things I was most nervous about going into the season, but they made everything so easy, were so supportive and truly built the best team.”
“All the chalets are less than 5 minutes away from the slopes, and then you have the biggest ski resort in the world at your feet. If you are keen, you can go skiing literally every single day.”
