Resort Finance & Administration Assistant

We are looking for a reliable, organised and practical Resort Finance & Administration Assistant to join our team in Morzine for the 2026/27 winter season. Based at our in-resort office in Morzine from November 2026 to April 2027, this role offers the opportunity to spend a winter in the Alps while taking on a position with genuine responsibility in a professional working environment.

The Boutique Chalet Company operates a collection of luxury chalets and apartments in Morzine and Les Gets, supported by teams in France and at our head office in Bath, UK. Sitting at the centre of our resort operation, you will work closely with our UK-based Finance Manager, the Morzine management team and our Chalet Managers to keep the day-to-day financial and administrative side of the business accurate, organised and up to date.

The role combines core accounts work - such as reviewing resort expenditure, processing supplier invoices and maintaining clear financial records - with practical resort administration, including processing ski passes, staff tips, meal orders and central stock control. You will become a dependable point of contact for the wider team, helping to make sure information is complete, tasks are followed through and any problems are resolved promptly.

Some previous experience in accounts, bookkeeping or administration would be valuable, but reliability, judgement, attention to detail and attitude will matter just as much as formal qualifications. You will need to be numerate, methodical and confident using systems, with the maturity to handle money and sensitive information responsibly. Equally importantly, you should be approachable, communicative and willing to get stuck in: this is a busy seasonal operation, and everyone occasionally helps beyond the strict boundaries of their role.

Although office-based, you will be very much part of the wider resort team. You will need to manage your own workload, communicate effectively with colleagues across France and the UK, and remain flexible enough to respond to the practical needs of the day. For the right person, this is a chance to enjoy a winter in Morzine while gaining valuable hands-on experience across finance, administration and resort operations.

Main Responsibilities

• Guest and resort communications: Support the resort communications rota through our Business WhatsApp account, assisting with guest concierge requests and ad hoc enquiries while on shift, particularly when the primary team members are unavailable.
• Wider team support: Assist with other finance, administrative and occasional operational tasks as required to support the resort team and help deliver a consistently high standard of service throughout the season.
