  • Leading your section with efficiency, organisation, and great communication
  • Supporting breakfast service, conference catering, and banquets as required
  • Upholding Food Control Plan standards and ensuring a safe, clean kitchen environment
  • Working with the kitchen team while promoting a positive kitchen culture


We’re looking for someone who:


  • Has proven experience as a Chef de Partie or in a similar role
  • Holds a Level 4 Cookery qualification and Food Safety Certification
  • Brings creativity, resilience, and attention to detail to the role
  • Works well under pressure and thrives in a team-focused environment
  • Has a flexible approach to different shifts and service styles
  • Has strong knowledge of catering for food allergies and dietary sensitivities, and can adapt dishes accordingly
