Travelbound 2025 General Assistant

Join us for the 2025 season at Travelbound’s amazing Chateau Du Molay in Northern France! Travelbound specialise in offering residential school trips to groups from all over the world!

This role will be based at our truly idyllic, 18th Century Chateau, situated in Normandy, France. Renowned for its history, beautiful towns and sandy beaches, in your down time you will have the chance to explore everything Normandy has to offer! Or, if you fancy something different on your day off you can jump on the train and be in central Paris within a couple of hours!

A season at Chateau Du Molay will give you the opportunity to build on your hospitality skills and make memories which will last a lifetime. With an international customer base and team of around 20 staff members from across Europe and the world, there is a unique opportunity to practice your French and English language skills!

What will I be doing?

As a General Assistant, you will be a key role in ensuring our school guests and party leaders feel welcomed at Chateau du Molay, and have the best stay possible!

The key focus in your role will be to ensure the presentation and hygiene standards for guest accommodation – bedrooms and bathrooms. This includes hoovering, dusting, cleaning of bedrooms & bathrooms and stripping and re-making beds. Day to day general room cleans are required as well as deep cleans on busy changeover days. The Chateau is so popular with large school groups that it can experience on 3-4 changeovers per week!

You’ll also work with pride to ensure the communal areas of the Chateau, such as the bar, restaurant, entrance, entertainment areas and classrooms are presentable and welcoming.

During mealtimes, you’ll also greet our guests in the restaurant area with a friendly smile and assist with waiting tables, serving meals and closing down the restaurant area by clearing away plates and cutlery, wiping tables and sweeping the floor. We serve breakfast and dinner to our guests so you can expect early starts for a breakfast shift and late finishes for evening shift with a break in-between.

With a team of around 30 staff members at Chateau du Molay, you will also be involved in other departments, such as the Evening Entertainments team which runs Discos, Karaoke and outdoor challenge sessions each evening. Other key focuses include helping with potwash, laundry and ensuring the outside grounds are presentable etc. You may find your evenings either working in the restaurant or providing evening entertainment.
