Future Prospects
We have a strong record of training and retaining apprentices within the business. All kitchen roles are potentially available. Some staff have also moved on to our sister fine dinning restaurant Melton's, others have also chosen to gain experience Front of House
Skills required
Attention to detail, willingness to learn, and the ability to take on board critical feedback. A calm temperament, team worker, and a good communicator.
Qualifications required

Personal qualities
"Calm temperament and passion for food. Most importantly we are looking for candidates who genuinely want to learn."
Things to consider
This job will require working evenings and weekends and long hours including 12 hour shifts often finishing late in the evening (between 10 to 11.15pm). We are in the city centre so parking can be an issue so please think about how you will get to and from work.
Level 2 Commis Chef Apprenticeship Standard
Apprenticeship standards are aimed at developing skills within the Apprentice’s chosen career route, each standard has set knowledge, skills and behaviours required to be successful within the job role. Once the apprentice has completed a minimum of 12 months training and the employer and the regional trainer confirm they have met all the requirements of the standard they will be put through to end point assessment. The end point assessment is independent from the training and includes a variety of assessment methods which test the skills and knowledge of the apprentice to ensure they are fully competent in their role. Each Apprentice will be supported throughout the apprenticeship by a structured programme of teaching, e-learning, face to face training and workplace mentoring; this will encourage and help them to meet the requirements of the new standards and will prepare them for the end of point assessment.
This vacancy may close early if sufficient applications are received. Please ensure you apply early to avoid disappointment.
