ABOUT CLUB MED

Club Med invented the all-inclusive holiday and runs nearly 70 resorts across 26 countries, open summer and winter. Resort staff are known as G.O (Gentle Organizer) and G.E (Gentle Employee).

Three seasons operate: spring, summer and winter. Ski and mountain roles recruit for winter, while watersports, land sports and beach resort positions recruit for summer. Some countries recruit year-round.

WHAT IS PROVIDED

• Accommodation and meals provided by Club Med, for a fixed fee deducted from salary

• Access to resort facilities and activities during your time off

MOBILITY ACROSS CONTINENTS

Most people do their first season in or near their country of residence. After that a career manager discusses mobility with you, which can open resorts in Europe, Africa, the West Indies, the Indian Ocean, Asia, and North and South America.

Contracts are seasonal or fixed-term and are commonly renewed across seasons, so this is a route into multi-year international work rather than a single summer.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS

1. Select a job offer and apply
2. An initial phone interview if your profile matches
3. A video, in-person or recruitment-event meeting to explore your application
4. If successful, you stay in contact with the team until your work location is confirmed

Club Med states that recruitment is based substantially on personality, alongside skills from specialised diplomas or proven professional, associative or sporting experience.

All positions are open to people with disabilities.

TWO PRACTICAL NOTES

Club Med's job search filters by your country of residence, so select the correct country to see the offers open to you.

Club Med resort roles are frequently evergreen and re-advertised across seasons rather than posted once and closed, so it is worth applying even if a listing has been live for some time.
