Are you a passionate chef, sous chef or pastry chef, keen to give back by training the next generation of kitchen talent?

We are partnering with an excellent charity who train and mentor people from challenging backgrounds - in a live kitchen in an events company.

The aim here is to pass on the oportunity for people to learn and qualify in a range of hospitality skills, with the key difference being that this does not take place in an education space or classroom environment, but is all completed in a “live” kitchen, with paying customers, as part of an event catering function. 

Paying customers means the standard of food needs to remain EXCELLENT while the team offer training, coaching and assessments behind the scenes.  

As part of the Sous Chef team, you will:

• Play a key role in leading by example as an experienced Chef
• Train, develop, encourage and assess a range of people
• Operate a kitchen team of trainees to give them real restaurant experience
• Run food ordering, stock takes, health and safety and compliance duties for the team.

This role is for you if you have:

• Proven experience as a Sous Chef or Pastry Chef in a busy kitchen
• Confidence to lead, train and develop a group of trainees
• Previous experience in training and assessing – things like formal training qualifications or Assessor qualifications would give you real a head-start in this role.
