If you're a chef who's fed up with the same four walls, the same menu, or being tied into shifts that don't suit your life, we'd like to hear from you. We're looking for chefs of all levels, from Chef de Partie through to senior Chefs, to support a wide range of clients across the area. Whether you're looking for the odd shift to top up your income, regular weekly work, or something closer to full-time hours, we have opportunities available to suit. Hotels Pubs Restaurants Event venues and hospitality sites This role suits chefs who are confident walking into different kitchens and getting on with the job. You might be leading a team one day and slotting into an established brigade the next. Work independently without constant supervision Adapt to different kitchens, systems and teams Hit the ground running from the start of a shift Ad hoc shifts Part-time opportunities Ongoing weekly work Full-time hours for those who want them Pay rates typically range from Β£16.00 to Β£24.00 per hour , depending on the role, location, days you are working, and level of responsibility. Driving & DBS A driving licence and access to your own transport is preferred due to the variety of sites we cover, although it's not essential. A DBS certificate dated within the last 12 months is highly beneficial, particularly for chefs interested in working within schools and care homes. Don't worry if you don't currently have one, we can help arrange a new DBS application where required. Whether you're an experienced Head Chef looking for a change, a strong Sous Chef wanting more flexibility, or a CDP keen to broaden your experience across different kitchens, we'd love to have a conversation. Blue Arrow is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to helping find great work opportunities for great people.
