Winter season jobs at Ski Magic
We are very proud of the fact that many of our guests return year after year and recommend Ski Magic to others.
We are equally proud of the fact that many of our team return to work several seasons with Ski Magic. We are currently looking for reliable, honest and self-motivated people to join our team for the 2019/20 ski season.
All staff come to work in The Three Valleys because they want to ski or board almost every day for five months on some of the best slopes in the World. You don’t have to be a good skier or boarder, in fact you may be a complete beginner, but you should be a fairly sporty outdoor type of person to enjoy working a season in the Alps. The work is hard, with early mornings and some late nights. There are meals to prepare, toilets to clean, shopping and cooking, talking to guests and answering their questions and never losing your enthusiasm or your smile.
We offer a competitive package for our employees.
If you are friendly, self confident, a reliable hard-worker and available to work from December 2019 to April 2020 then we would like to hear from you. Read the job descriptions below then send your CV and covering letter to us.

Singles, couples, friends and mature applicants are all welcome to apply for this position.

We are looking for responsible, conscientious, reliable, fun-loving nannies to join our team of child carers. You’ll ensure that our younger guests (from 6 months to 10 years) have a good – if not better – holiday than their parents!
The Magic Snowflake Club runs for 5 days per week to an activity programme suitable for the ages of the children in your care.
Safety is of utmost importance, so record-keeping and regular checks are an essential part of the role.
Cooking skills are preferable as Nannies cook and serve children’s lunches.
(The ability to build a mean snowman is a distinct advantage!)
Applicants should be over 18 and have NNEB or equivalent qualification. The position could also be suited to a nurse or teacher.
Ski time: At least 1.5 full days per week.
