When should I apply?
We recruit from May onwards for the winter season and from December onwards for the summer season. We accept application forms year round.

Will I hear back from you even if my application is unsuccessful?
Yes, we aim to get back to you as soon as possible normally within 2 weeks of receiving your application.

Where are the interviews held?
All interviews are held in our Head Office in Putney, South West London. We do not pay travel expenses for interviews.

What happens at the interview and how long will it last?
We interview on a one to one basis and the interview normally takes 1-11/2 hours.

Will I know which resort I will be working in?
Yes, the resort will be specified on your contract. We do try to take personal circumstances and preferences into consideration whilst still meeting our operational requirements.

Can I apply with a partner?
Yes – we do take on couples in selected resorts within our programme depending on the resort set up.

I have not worked in the tourist industry but have had managerial jobs in the past – can I apply to be a Resort Manager?
Ideally you will have worked as an overseas representative either for Inghams or another Tour Operator for at least two to three seasons. Knowledge of the role is generally an essential ingredient for the success of leading a team of representatives. Previous experience as a Manager however, will put you in good stead to fast track to a more senior position once you have learnt the basic requirements of the job.

What sort of hours will I be working?
If you are looking for a 9-5 job then this definitely is not for you! Working overseas can mean long, unsociable hours where plenty of stamina and enthusiasm is required. You will work a 6 day week often on a split shift pattern where good time management will allow you the opportunity to ski/board in the winter or relax and go sightseeing in the summer. No two days are the same and we can assure you the role will be varied, challenging and enjoyable.

If I am successful and accept the position what happens next?
Should you be offered a position we ask that you make a commitment by signing a contract and paying a bond of £100 which we retain until you have completed the season. You will be sent a Reps Manual 2-3 weeks before the start of the season along with joining instructions for the residential Training Course.

What about training?
We are very committed to training our staff and we hold a residential Training Course of 6/7 days prior to the start of the season in a hotel within the London area.

What is included in the package?
Organised travel to and from resort, accommodation (non-shared in 95% of resorts), free or subsidised meals, competitive salary paid into a UK bank account ( subject to NI and tax contributions if applicable), subsidised insurance, free uniform, lift pass (whole area), ski and boot hire for the duration of the season, commission on local sales and performance related bonuses.
