Are you a Chef de Partie looking for a role that offers great daytime hours, a genuine work-life balance and the opportunity to have an input into the food offering?

We are working with a leading national contract caterer who are looking for a talented Chef de Partie to join their team at a specialist meetings and conferences site.

This is a predominantly Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:30 role, with only occasional Saturday working - typically around one Saturday per month, although there may be some periods where two Saturdays are required.

The Role

This is a smaller-scale, quality-focused operation catering primarily for meetings, conferences and corporate events. The food offering ranges from:

There is no retail operation, allowing the kitchen team to focus on delivering a high-quality service to conference and meeting guests.

The site is also looking to develop and improve its food offering, so this is a great opportunity for a Chef de Partie who wants to contribute ideas, develop menus and have a genuine influence on what is served.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a Chef de Partie who:

  • Has previous experience working in a kitchen catering for meetings and events
  • Has a passion for fresh, quality food
  • Is confident working across a variety of food styles
  • Takes pride in presentation and attention to detail
  • Enjoys working as part of a team
  • Wants to develop their skills and contribute ideas
  • Is looking for a role offering a much better work-life balance

What's on Offer?

  • £32,000 salary
  • 08:00–16:30 working hours
  • Predominantly Monday to Friday
  • Only occasional Saturday working
  • Excellent work-life balance
  • No late-night finishes
  • Opportunity to influence and develop the food offering
  • Training and development opportunities
  • Further career opportunities across the wider national business

If you're an experienced Chef de Partie looking to move away from the traditional long hours of hospitality and into a quality daytime operation with genuine development opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
