Hotel and Spa work in Whistler Blackcomb

Oyster offers you the opportunity to work in the world famous resort of Whistler Blackcomb where the philosophy really is ‘work hard, play hard’!

With guaranteed work, season-long accommodation and a good wage, you can experience everything Whistler has to offer. With the slopes on your doorstep and a discounted ski pass available, the opportunities are limitless!

The Job

You can expect to work at one of Whistler Blackcomb's top hotels or Spas. Canadian employers are proud of their reputation for high levels of customer service and you should expect to work in an entry-level position, such as housekeeping. If you have particularly good bar or restaurant experience, there is a small chance of being offered a job in one of those areas at the outset.

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 Pay

You can expect to earn a good minimum wage of around $15 per hour. This gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy your stay, live comfortably and lead a great social life. Most participants are even able to save some money for when they have finished the programme.

Accommodation

Guaranteed staff accommodation is usually located very close by to where you will work (no excuse for being late to work!). Expect to share a room. All the rooms have self-catering facilities provided. Cost for your room is the equivalent of 1 hours pay each night. This comes directly out of your pay check every 2 weeks.
