We are a walking and skiing holiday specialist providing perfect escapes in magical places since 1997.
Working in some of the world’s most spectacular alpine environments might turn out to be one of the most cherished experiences of your life, but only if you fully understand what we expect of you on a day to day basis.
Collett’s is a small, independent holiday specialist, offering half-board, bed & breakfast and self-catering accommodation in some of Europe’s most stunning mountain ranges and areas of outstanding beauty: In Italy, The Dolomites and Tuscany; the Austrian & Swiss Alps; and in Spain, the Pyrenees, Picos de Europa and the Sierra Tejeda (Andalucia). Our guests come with a range of outdoor interests, aspirations and abilities, from wildflower enthusiasts to those seeking challenging high level adventures on rugged terrain. They are a very sociable crowd, who enjoy the atmosphere we manage to facilitate, getting to know fellow outdoor enthusiasts in their chosen accommodation or on our organised walks.
Who are we looking for
Each year we recruit people to join our resort teams on a seasonal basis. We need teams in the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to mid-November) and winter (from start of December until mid-April), but many more during the summer months of June to the end of September.
You must, above all else, have a love of the outdoors and plenty of experience of walking in the hills and mountains with good navigational skills using an outdoor map. You need to have a genuine interest in (and enthusiasm for) new areas and the ability to contribute positively to a team environment. These jobs require you to genuinely enjoy looking after people, helping them to get the best out of their holiday.
A polite, sociable and obliging character is essential. Collett’s is justly proud of the outstanding quality of its past resort teams and we owe much of our success to their hard work, attention to detail and, most of all, their friendly and engaging characters. If you are the type of person who naturally enjoys the company of others and enjoys looking after people, then read on.
