About Stanford Sierra Conference Center
We are located on Fallen Leaf Lake, just five miles from South Lake Tahoe, California. Our beautiful location offers some of the best hiking, biking, boating and living in the Sierra Nevada! Want proof?
Each spring, from April to June, and each fall, from September to November, we form a tight-knit community in our picturesque mountain home. We look for good workers, but also good people - reliable, interesting individuals who respect themselves and others and can handle the responsibilities of living and working in a small, diverse community. The most successful staff members are team players who are compatible with the service industry, hard-working, enthusiastic, appreciative of our beautiful natural setting and take pride in a job well done.
A majority of our seasonal employees are all purpose staff. Duties include housekeeping, dining room food service (including setting tables, serving guests plate and buffet-style meals, bussing tables, washing dishes, and providing excellent customer service to guests), and general cleaning. Staff may also be assigned to do airport shuttling, boat checkout, running errands, grounds-keeping, selling sundries, and a variety of special assignments. The job requires a professional demeanor and a commitment to excellent service. Shifts are spread throughout the day, and schedules change daily to accommodate the needs of each conference. All purpose staff work 35-40 hours per week with occasional overtime.
