Chef de Partie
Type: Permanent
Hours: 37 hours per week. Wednesday - Saturday 07:00-15:00, Sunday 07:00-14:30 (with flexibility to cover leave and sickness)
Location: Mill View, St Edmunds Way, Hauxton, Cambridge, CB22 5GA
Salary: £30,000
Enjoy your passion for food with a better work-life balance, creative freedom, and real responsibility
Are you a talented chef looking for a role that lets you do what you love-without sacrificing your evenings? Join our team at Mill View as a Chef de Partie and enjoy more sociable working hours in a supportive, community-focused environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t your typical chef job. As a Chef de Partie at Mill View, you’ll:
*Have creative input into menu planning, helping shape a varied, seasonal, and resident-focused food offering.
*Opportunity to take on responsibility, running the kitchen in the absence of the Catering Manager-including during holidays and days off. (This is a fantastic opportunity to step up and showcase your leadership potential)
What You’ll Be Doing
*Preparing and serving high-quality, nutritious meals to residents, guests, and visitors.
*Supporting the Catering Manager with kitchen operations, stock control, and budgeting.
*Leading the kitchen team when needed to ensure smooth, uninterrupted service.
*Maintaining high standards of food safety, hygiene, and customer satisfaction.
*Engaging with residents to gather feedback and continuously improve our food offering.
*Having a say in menu development, with a focus on variety, dietary needs, and seasonal ingredients.
What We’re Looking For
*A passion for food and delivering exceptional service.
*Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
*Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
*Knowledge of catering equipment and food safety legislation.
Qualifications
*A Level 2 or 3 Food Hygiene Certificate would be great -but don’t worry if you don’t have one yet. We can provide the relevant training on your first day if required.
*Desirable: *NVQ in Kitchen Larder and Pastry (or equivalent) - showcasing your culinary technique.
*Advanced Food Hygiene Certificate - demonstrating your commitment to food safety.
*Experience in retirement living or extra care schemes.
*Event and function catering experience.
Employee Benefits
We believe in rewarding our team with more than just a paycheque. In addition to a wealth of other benefits and as part of our commitment to your wellbeing and development, we offer:
*Cycle to Work Scheme
*Retail Discounts
*28 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holidays
*Professional Development Opportunities
*Private Health Care
*Employee Assistance Programme
*Generous Pension Scheme
*Christmas Savings Club
Our Values We’re proud of the work we do and the difference we make. Our values-integrity, customer focus, pride, and collaboration-guide everything we do. You’ll be part of a team that values your contribution and helps you grow.
