Chef de Partie - Apprenticeship

As described above, the Chef de Partie is a senior role within the kitchen. They supervise and oversee the operational running of their section, so the kitchen brigade system runs as smoothly as possible. Depending on your establishment, the kitchen may differ from another, but the principles will remain the same; to teach and lead others whom you work with and to have a holistic approach to the kitchen whilst leading a specific section of it.

This would suit any chef who is wishing to climb the ladder and learn more about the qualities required to supervise others whilst developing their own cookery skills. Explore the full breadth of the menu options whilst working to a high standard in a challenging, time-bound environment. To learn all aspects of the kitchen, so you can have an appreciation of the diverse needs a supervisor would need to lead the team.

You must be employed to undertake an Apprenticeship (we could help you with this if you don't currently have one). You will need to show a strong commitment to pursuing a career in food preparation cookery and ideally have literacy and numeracy skills to Level 2 or above. All applicants for Apprenticeship training will be required to attend an interview and assessment.

On successful completion of this Apprenticeship you could further your training with us on a more full time basis or progress to Higher Education, depending on your GCSE qualifications.
