Job Title: Head Chef in Training

Do you have experience in leading a team to success in the kitchen and fancy making a move? Or maybe you want to bring 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 achieve your targets.

As a Head Chef in Training, you’ll learn how to build a kitchen to be proud of the ‘Mitchells & Butlers’ way. Most of our Head Chefs in Training are in their own kitchens within 6 months.

Join us at Vintage Inns, a collection of rural pubs where muddy boots and paws are welcome. You’ll find roaring log fires, traditional food, and a cozy atmosphere. If you want to be part of the Inn crowd, we want to hear from you.

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

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

Additionally, as part of Mitchells & Butlers, you will receive a pension, 25 days paid holiday, high-street shopping discounts, and free shares. We also offer a free employee helpline to support you with whatever life throws at you.

WHAT DO I NEED?

You’ll…

• Be experienced in leading a team and developing a business.
• Possibly be currently working as a commercial catering manager, school kitchen manager, care home head chef, sous chef, deputy kitchen manager, or manager of an independent business or equivalent.
• Be able to drive to support your business district while training.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING?

• During your 6 months of training, we will equip you to become a Head Chef who will...
• Train and inspire your team to deliver high-quality food you can be proud of.
• Be motivated to smash targets, drive sales, and enhance guest satisfaction.
• Manage food ordering, preparation, and stock control.
