The role

Our chefs grow through threelevels, based on how many sections of the kitchen you can cover. You start atLevel 1, develop at Level 2 and reach mastery at Level 3. Whatever yourexperience, we'll find the right level for you, and rates of pay are differentdepending on your level and experience.

Level 1: start

You're starting your kitchencareer. You'll learn to prep and cook our dishes the right way, alongsideexperienced chefs who want to see you succeed. New to kitchens? You'll get fulltraining and a team that has your back from day one.

Level 2: develop

At Prezzo Italian, it all comesdown to two things: the impression we make and the connections we build. Everyguest should leave feeling genuinely looked after, not just served. That startswith how we treat each other. Teams who look out for one another, have funtogether and take pride in what they do create the moments guests remember andcome back for.

Food is one of our key pillars,so you'll have support from our central team of chefs and the right tools toget it right every time.
