About the Role

Are you an experienced Chef de Partie or ambitious Commis Chef looking for fixed, predictable shifts with no late night finishes?

We are currently recruiting for a permanent Chef de Partie to join a global leader in flight catering, based at Glasgow Airport. Working in a modern, fast-paced culinary unit, you will play a key role in preparing high-quality meals and food presentation for leading international airlines.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Previous experience as a Chef de Partie, Line Cook, or Senior Commis Chef in a commercial kitchen, hotel, catering, or high-volume environment.
• Food Safety: Hold a minimum Level 2 Food Safety certification (or equivalent qualification/experience).
• Work Ethic: Reliable, punctual, and able to thrive under strict time deadlines.
• Compliance: As this role is based at Glasgow Airport, candidates must be able to provide a 5-year checkable work/education history and undergo a standard background check (DBS).

Benefits

• Predictable Hours: Earliest finish is 1:00 PM; latest finish is 7:00 PM - no late nights!
• Competitive Pay: £14.68 per hour with weekly pay.
• Permanent Security: Stable, year-round permanent employment with a major aviation catering company.
