What do weekends, bank holidays, and Christmas have in common? For you, they re probably working days. Not anymore. Say hello to working in hospitality with hospitable hours.
As a Chef at our residential training facility, you ll work as part of a close-knit, collaborative and supportive team to deliver a high-quality experience. Whether you re at the start of your career, or you re an experienced chef looking for better work-life balance, this rare opportunity is the role for you.
In a typical 42-hour week, you ll work two 12-hour shifts and three 6-hour shifts per week (with breaks), and a meal is provided on those longer days. There s also occasional voluntary weekend work, which you ll be paid overtime for.
Day-to-day, you ll prepare, cook and serve three meals to up to 170 visitors. You ll also have the chance to dabble in fine dining. So, bring your best and boldest ideas and flex your culinary creativity to design new recipes and menus.
It s a customer-facing role, so you ll be interacting with the people you re preparing food for. You ll be on hand for our visitors needs, and work as part of a wider team to ensure together that they re looked after.
Preferably, you ll hold a C&G/NVQ or equivalent Level 2 food preparation and cooking qualification. And you ll be a team player who is comfortable working with people, can use their initiative and deliver excellent customer service.
