Chef / Housekeeper

Our Company Global Pre-Meds is a specialist company that provides a unique service combining medical education with adventurous travel and industry-leading hospitality. Our customers are aspiring medical students, and our program gives them a two-week internship shadowing doctors in a Caribbean hospital while living alongside their peers from around the world in one of our exclusive student guesthouses. The clinical and cultural experience this gives our students can be a valuable step on their journeys to medical school, as well as an exciting journey of personal development. The Role We’re looking someone to join our team as a Chef / Housekeeper responsible for the Housekeeping and Food in our student guesthouse in the Dominican Republic. You will work to ensure that all of the guests have a superb experience living in our guesthouse, typical duties will include: Provide breakfast, light lunch, snacks and dinner six days per week. You will create the set menu plan yourself and all the food we provide should be varied, high quality with a strong local (Caribbean) influence. Ensure the guesthouse is kept clean and tidy and that health and hygiene standards are met throughout the season, cleaning all rooms and public areas on a daily basis and carrying out a deep clean at the start, middle and end of the season. Ensure the guesthouse is a welcoming, friendly and impressive home-from-home for our guests. Whether that be fresh flowers in the living room or fresh juice waiting when they return home from the day, you’ll need to also deliver the little touches that will give our guests an exceptional hospitality service.

You will be part of the operational team in the Dominican Republic meaning you should be happy and willing to be involved in the program as a whole.
