Spend the winter working in the Alps
This winter we're launching a brand-new concept at one of our venues, Favela, a Latin American restaurant and party bar where we're combining great hospitality with live entertainment.
We're looking for outgoing people who can sing, perform and entertain guests, but first and foremost this is a hospitality role. We're looking for humble, hardworking people who enjoy working as part of a team and making guests smile.
It's a paid six-month winter contract in the French Alps, with accommodation and the chance to help build something completely new.
