Your chosen vacancy detail

Fancy a ski season in Canada? Want to improve your French and earn a good wage? Oyster offers you the opportunity to do all 3 on their paid work programme at the worlds top ski resort Tremblant, Canada.

We have been sending people to Tremblant since 2006 and our participants have been working in bars, restaurants and hotels in a number of roles. You will have the full support of our team in the UK (including a pre-departure course) and our representative in Tremblant who will be a helpful friend to you.

We have a number of vacancies available at the Canadian resort of Tremblant for the coming summer and ski seasons. Work opportunities vary from working as a Cook Assistant in a restaurant kitchen to working as a Housekeeper in a hotel. These placements are for applicants aged between 18 - 30.

The Jobs Available

Canadian employers are proud of their reputation for high levels of customer service. All of our participants must expect to be employed in an entry level position. This gives employers the opportunity to see, first hand, how you perform. If you impress your boss, and learn enough French to converse easily, you may well be moved into different roles within the establishment. In the past, we have had people running a deli counter and speaking French all day long!  

Standards are high in Canada and you’ll be expected to be punctual, smart and polite. If you don’t mind working hard you’ll have a great time – both at work, where you will be part of a busy team, and in the resort itself. The attitude in Canada really is ‘Work hard, Play hard’! By accepting a place offered by Oyster, you will be guaranteed a job and accommodation as long as you can provide a clean Police Check.

The Pay

If the work sounds appealing then you can expect to earn a good wage that is above the Canadian minimum wage. Most participants find the wage enough to be able to live comfortably, have a great social life and even save money for when they have finished the placement.

Skiing/Boarding experience

For novices and experts alike, Tremblant is the perfect Ski Resort. It offers a good variety of slopes that can help progress those that are still relatively new to winter sports whilst still challenging the more experienced amongst you. In the past our experienced skiers have taken their skills to new levels by doing extra courses and taking on the snow parks. If you have only been skiing a few times - spend your free time skiing and improving! Over 6 months you will become pretty good to say the least!

Accommodation

Oyster will secure good quality accommodation for you and your group in rented Condo’s (flats) and houses. You’ll live in a town a short bus ride from Tremblant. This is the best accommodation that we use anywhere in the world. All accommodation is self catering with cooking facilities provided and you should expect to share a room. Participants pay for accommodation whilst in Tremblant. This is great value and works out to be approximately C$400 per month (roughly £300)
