Job description

Do you have experience of leading a team to success in the kitchen and fancy making a move? Or maybe you fancy bringing your kitchen management skills to the pub and restaurant business.

Based within a district you will need to drive and have access to your own vehicle. With the support of your district armed with a training plan you will grow your team and smash your targets.

When you become Head Chef in Training, you’ll learn how to build a kitchen to be proud of the ‘Mitchells & Butlers’ way. You'll be ready to go in no time. Most of our Head Chefs in Training are in their own kitchen within 6 months.

Join us at Toby Carvery, the home of the roast, where every day is a Sunday! Think perfectly ruffled potatoes, giant homemade Yorkies and pigs in blankets all year round. If you love Yorkies as much as we do, we want to hear from you.

This is a suitable opportunity for somebody looking for their first Head Chef appointment.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

• The opportunity to take the next step in your career, where you will learn from some of the best in the industry.

• 20% discount across all of our brands for up to 5 friends and family.
• Discounts on gym memberships.
• Health & Dental Plans - to keep you safe, secure and always smiling.
• Team Socials – work hard, play hard!

On top of this, as part of Mitchells & Butlers you will receive a pension; 25 days paid holiday; high-street shopping discounts; and we even give you free shares! There's also a free employee helpline to support you with whatever life throws at you.

WHAT DO I NEED?

• Be a seasoned pro in leading a team and developing a business.
• You may be currently working as a commercial catering manager, school kitchen manager, care home head chef, sous chef, deputy kitchen manager or the manager of an independent business or equivalent.
• Be able to drive, in order to support business in your district whilst training.
