General Assistant

The beautiful 18th century Château du Baffy, on the edge of the small village of Colombiers, offers guests the chance to stay in the beautiful Normandy countryside and enjoy the superb beaches nearby.

The château is a popular destination for UK school groups during the academic year (primarily March to November), keen to explore the region with a wide range of daily excursions. During the summer holidays (late July/August), the Château is enjoyed by adult and family guests, and due to the proximity to the WW2 landing beaches, we also host a number of military guests.

The Château du Baffy is owned and operated by Select School Travel, which is one of the UK’s leading school travel operators with properties in France and Austria.

The property sleeps up to 132 guests in the main chateau and Villa Mathilde, and up to an additional 57 in the new cabins which are being launched this summer.  There are also facilities which include a games area, fire-pit, cinema room plus an indoor sports hall and function room. Staff are also provided with access to mountain bikes and as appropriate, use of the company vehicle to further explore the area.

Ahead of the 2025 season we would like to add to the team of General Assistants, reporting to the General Manager to provide an excellent level of restaurant service, house-keeping and guest liaison (both to the school group and adult guests).

We aim to provide a varied and flexible working environment to ensure that you are able to enjoy and explore all that the location and the region has to offer, including regular team day trips and social events plus local fitness centre / swimming facilities.

As such, we are looking for energetic, motivated and ambitious candidates who can demonstrate:

• excellent customer service skills
• hospitality experience
• hardworking / team player approach
• enthusiasm for working with school groups
• French language beneficial

Applicants must be EU passport holders or hold an appropriate visa.
