Consensio requires chefs for their luxury alpine chalets

Are you an experienced chef looking for a new challenge, or a younger chef looking for a step up in responsibility? Why not spend 6 months working in a multi-million pound chalet in France running your own kitchen and designing your own changing, bespoke menus.

Consensio has exciting opportunity for chefs to join the team working in some of the most luxurious chalets in the French Alps. Not only do we pay the highest salaries in the Alps but you will have the opportunity to cater for clients of very high net worth who are well connected around the world.

This role is challenging as we expect fine dining throughout from breakfast, to afternoon tea to formal evening meals but it is equally rewarding in terms of having the freedom to create your own menus, work with other professionals, have an exceedingly high tip potential and ski on your splits.
