Contract Manager/s For Leading Bordeaux Vineyard Guesthouse - Bordeaux Wine Region - France

Set amidst the Bordeaux vineyards, we're one the region's top rated B&Bs, welcoming up to 12 people.  The property has the amenities of a boutique hotel, but we aim for the relaxed and personal style of a friendly guesthouse.  Now operating for 8 years, we've built a great reputation for our warm hospitality and idyllic setting.  Our clientele is predominantly english speaking, from a range of nationalities, with a smaller percentage of french speaking guests.

About The Role

At present the property is operated by the owners, with a small team of employees helping with guests and cleaning.  We are now looking for a couple, or possibly a committed individual, to take over as on-site manager/s of the business, starting around the the beginning of April 2019 and finishing toward the end of October 2019.  You will receive intensive initial training from the owners and intermittent support throughout the year, plus have the support of the small team for some help with cleaning and guests, but whoever takes on this role (whether it's a couple or individual) will ultimately be responsible for the entire operation (more detail on principal duties is given below).  This can be a demanding role, but each day has a good degree of flexibility and both the team and our guests all enjoy some fun along the way. Likewise, while we strive for a relaxed feel for guests, this is very much a professional role that requires a wide mix of talents and disciplines.  In return, in addition to comprehensive training and potentially career building experience, we offer on-site accommodation in a newly renovated separate 1 bedroom cottage, and a remuneration package dependent on the level of involvement desired by the right candidate (if you're prepared to do a bit more cleaning and property maintenance, the remuneration would be higher) and at least in part, based on your performance.

As mentioned above, this role has a very varied input into the business, but primary duties cover the full spectrum of an accommodation business, from handling enquiries and bookings to maximise occupancy, welcoming and hosting guests, including for evening meals (we have a chef for most cooking), overseeing staff, stocks of provisions, and linen, and managing our marketing and social media.  Less frequent, but also important, will be occasional grounds and property maintenance, resolution of any problems, and some cleaning and food preparation.

About You

To succeed in this role you will need to be confident and feel at ease meeting and hosting new people, promoting our business and the local area, thinking on your feet, dealing with a wide range of demands, issues and variable working hours, and with at least reasonable skills in property maintenance.  Though not strictly necessary, experience in hospitality and leadership will be a bonus, and given we are located in one of the world's most famous wine regions, an interest in the industry would also be a plus.  As most of our guests are english speaking, highly fluent english is a must, and more than a basic level of french will be an advantage. Further, we are located in the countryside, so a car and driving licence is critical, as is a valid right to work in France.

As the current owners/managers, we came from corporate careers with a desire to step outside of an office environment and create a complete experience and relaxing getaway for our guests. Have you ever dreamed of running a guesthouse in France, or are you looking for a new challenge?
