JOIN THE PARK HOTEL TEAM
Corner of SH4 and Millar Street, National Park, Ruapehu.
We are hiring!
We are currently looking for staff for the following position:
CHEF
The Park is a popular 80-room tourist hotel with a substantial and popular restaurant operation and some meeting/conference business. Along with the pub nearby, we are the main eating establishments. We’re located in National Park Village, Ruapehu District, catering to a predominantly domestic clientele through the winter months and a broad mix of international and domestic guests over spring and summer.
Winter attraction is primarily skiing & snowboarding at NZ’s two largest ski areas, Whakapapa and Turoa. In summer, a key attraction is the Tongariro Alpine Crossing walk, along with multi-day hikes, mountain biking, fishing, etc. It’s a great area if you’re into the outdoors but no good if bars, restaurants and nightlife are your thing! Our season is very similar to Queenstown: strong most of the year but quiet May / June – we just don’t get their room rates!
We’re open 7 days a week for breakfast & dinner and at times meetings and events during the day. Our menu is quite straightforward such that any competent chef would get a handle on it in no time.
Benefits:
•We are able to provide nice accommodation which is about an 8 minute walk from the hotel (or 1 minute driving!) Included is power, unlimited internet, etc. – everything. There is not a lot to spend your money so most of what is earned is saved.
• Season passes are available to employees at a heavily discounted rate. As there’s no accomodation or commuting costs you’d save a lot more than an Aucklander on a significantly higher income.
If a couple is interested, it’s highly likely we can find a role for the partner as well. We respect all nationalities and lifestyle choices, so as long as you can do the job, we’re happy.
