This is a great opportunity for a passionate chef to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with a team that values creativity, quality, and professionalism.

As CDP, you’ll be responsible for running a section of the kitchen independently, ensuring preparation and service are carried out to the highest standards. You’ll work closely with the Sous and Head Chefs to support seamless execution across multiple sites.

• Ensure your section operates efficiently during prep and service, whether on-site or at off-site venues.
• Maintain a clean and organised work area.
• Monitor stock levels in your section and report shortages or issues to senior chefs.
• Adapt to changing menus, venues, and service styles (buffet, plated, canapés, etc.) across events.
• Ensure allergen and dietary requirements are met and clearly communicated.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a CDP or Commis Chef ready to step up, ideally within events, catering, or high-volume service.
• Flexibility to work across multiple venues and varied shift patterns (including evenings/weekends).
• Sound knowledge of food safety, cleanliness, and allergen procedures.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Able to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines with a calm, focused attitude.
