FAQs

Your most common repping questions, covered by our team.

I’m keen to work as many weeks as possible next season – what can you offer me?

For our resort Reps, on average you will work 3 weeks a season; however for those keen to do more and work hard in resort there are plenty of opportunities to be allocated additional weeks. For our events Assistants, you’ll be working dedicated point 6 weeks and we will try to allocate you as many as these that fit with your schedule and our needs in resort. Unlike a traditional season we do not offer whole winter roles.

I have a full time job / university course. Will I still be able to join NUCO?

Yes, the vast majority of our Resort teams have other commitments and work our peak weeks around these.

What are the minimum weeks resort reps must be available for?

As a minimum we would expect you to be available for the following but obviously the greater your availability the more likely we are to be able to offer you weeks:

Our requirements are 2 key weeks during Winter and 1 at Easter.

Key winter weeks

Friday 8th December - Saturday 16th December 2023

Friday 15th December - Saturday 23rd December 2023

Friday 5th January - Saturday 13th January 2024


Key Easter weeks

Friday 22nd March - Saturday 30th March 2024

Friday 29th March - Saturday 6th April 2024

The more of these key weeks you’re available for the better for your application and hopeful allocation! If you can’t make these minimum requirements please get in touch to see if we can work anything out.

* For Events assistants there are specific events weeks, detailed in the application form, ideally the more you can do the better as this will keep our events team consistent and give you a good working knowledge of NUCO events.

Is my attendance on the Training Weekend obligatory?

Yes, to maintain our high standards and to ensure all new Resort Reps and Events Assistants have the best possible start, we require all new reps to attend the full weekend. This isn’t required for Coach Reps.

I’m on a snowsports committee travelling with NUCO, do I still need to apply and attend training weekend?

Yes, for the purpose of repping every application is treated equally so the usual deadlines and standards apply and we expect the same commitment to training and role. However for committee members travelling with us, we can offer a little flexibility on the minimum weeks required.

I’ve been allocated two weeks in row, will I need to travel back to the UK and back out to resort again? Will both weeks be in the same resort?

Usually you won’t be required to travel back to the UK and would remain in resort / transfer to your second resort.

What uniform am I provided with?

Your uniform will depend on your role all reps will get a T-Shirt and Resort Reps and Event Assistants will be sent a NUCO jacket, with the option to buy more NUCO stash.

Do you need to be able to speak French or Spanish?

Though a second language isn’t a requirement to rep for NUCO, it is advantageous both for your application and allocation.

I am a ski / board instructor can I rep for NUCO?

All of NUCO’s lessons and workshops are run by third party suppliers so we don’t hire instructors. So your role would be as a Resort Rep.

I’m not a very good skier / snowboarder, does that matter?

A basic understanding of the sport and industry is useful, however NUCO doesn’t assess your ability to ski / board. It's actually a great way to learn, as provided there is space, and your rota doesn't clash, you can join lessons for free

Why do I have to pay to attend the Training Weekend?

We want to make the Training Weekend as accessible as possible, but unfortunatly it's not always possible to offer it for free, so we may ask for a small contribution, or a refundable deposit to attend.

Can I request which resorts / groups I rep?

For Resort Reps - No, we will allocate you based on your location in the UK, skills, experience, suitability, resort requirements etc and as such we don’t take requests from reps. It is also worth noting; to provide the best quality reps we avoid allocating reps with potential distractions (i.e. their old groups, or where their friends/ family are on holiday etc.)

For Coach reps - you will only be allocated to a trip you’re travelling on.

I’m really keen to be in the mountains next season so I’m hedging my bets and pursuing rep work with both NUCO and their competitor(s). Is this okay?

We can’t speak for our competitors but from our point of view it isn’t appropriate. We require a commitment from you including to our minimum availability requirements, which would likely clash with the requirements of a competitor.

Is there anything else that I need, in order to be successful in my Resort role?

You need a smartphone in a good, working condition; one that is capable of installing and running a number of apps required for the resort roles.

What about Brexit and repping?

We are working with partners and legal experts to ensure our continued compliance with employment regulations post-Brexit. Currently, all we ask is that you hold a UK or EU passport.
