Prepare and make all cakes, biscuits and treats for afternoon tea, across all chalets

Assist the Head Chef with a 3-course dinner for 50β80 guests

π ChefJobs Abroad Analysis
This is the baking-and-breakfast specialist inside a larger chalet-hotel operation β feeding 50β80 guests a week means the Head Chef needs someone who owns their two sections completely, freeing the rest of the kitchen to focus on dinner service. Like the standalone Chef role, the day is built around a genuinely free afternoon once morning prep is done, with the kitchen quiet until the 7:30pm dinner push. For a chef with a real flair for baking who wants a defined, high-volume specialist role β rather than running an entire chalet solo β inside a mountain season with gear, lift pass and travel contribution sorted, this is a strong fit.
