Location: Hauxton, Cambridge
Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 7:00am – 2:00pm
Salaryt: £30,000 per annum
Contract: Temporary to Permanent
Interaction Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced Chef de Partie to join a fantastic catering operation based in Hauxton, Cambridge.
This is an ongoing temp-to-perm opportunity offering excellent daytime working hours and a strong permanent benefits package. We are looking for a capable, experienced chef who genuinely enjoys working with fresh food and is comfortable getting involved across all areas of a busy kitchen.
This isn't a role for someone who only wants to work one section. Our client is looking for a good all-round chef who can turn their hand to different areas of the kitchen, including some basic pastry work, and who has the right attitude to support the wider team wherever required.
The Role
As Chef de Partie, you will be involved in:
Preparing and cooking high-quality dishes using fresh ingredients
Working across different sections of the kitchen as required
Supporting food preparation and service
Assisting with basic pastry and dessert preparation
Maintaining excellent standards of presentation and consistency
Supporting the wider kitchen team during busy periods
Following food hygiene, allergen and health & safety procedures
Maintaining a clean, organised and professional kitchen
Assisting with deep cleaning and kitchen maintenance
Washing up and supporting general kitchen duties when required
Our client operates very much as one team, so having the right attitude is essential. They are looking for someone who understands that no job within the kitchen is beneath them and who is happy to muck in when needed.
What We're Looking For
You will ideally have:
Previous experience working at Chef de Partie level or equivalent
Strong fresh food experience
Good knowledge of food preparation and cooking techniques
Experience across a variety of kitchen sections
Basic pastry skills
The ability to work independently while also being a strong team player
Good organisational skills and the ability to work efficiently
High standards of food hygiene and kitchen cleanliness
A positive, flexible and hands-on attitude
Chefs whose experience is predominantly limited to one section, such as main courses only, are unlikely to be suitable. This position requires someone who is confident working as a genuine kitchen all-rounder.
This offers a fantastic opportunity for an experienced chef looking to move away from traditional late-night kitchen hours while continuing to work within a quality fresh-food environment.
Permanent Package
Following successful completion of the temporary period, the permanent position offers:
£30,000 salary
37-hour working week
28 days' annual leave plus Bank Holidays
Private healthcare
Excellent company pension scheme
Employer will double your pension contribution up to 6% (Contribute 6% yourself and the employer will contribute 12%)
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled Chef de Partie who is looking for long-term stability, daytime hours and an employer offering a genuinely strong benefits package.
