WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?

An apprenticeship is a funded programme where an individual learns new skills, knowledge and behaviours in a chosen sector. An apprenticeship will enable you to work and earn a wage whilst developing and gaining new skills as an employee.

Alongside your day to day duties, you will complete the Commis Chef Level 2 Apprenticeship. This is a nationally recognised qualification and the primary objective of the Commis Chef is to learn and understand how to carry out the basic functions in every section of the kitchen. You will attend college 1 day per week which will be included in your contracted hours. All travel expenses will be covered by your employer. You are not expected to complete any of your Apprenticeship work outside of your normal working hours and will be given set time each week to complete your work.

Who you are:

  • Eager to learn and keen to become a chef in the industry.
  • Hard-working
  • Able to work as part of a team
  • Able to take instruction but also have your own opinions.
  • Great customer service skills

    • What you’ll be doing:

    Based in our busy kitchen at Twickenham Stadium, duties would be varied. You would complete the Level 2 Commis Chef apprenticeship. Once the course is completed, we would encourage the Level 3 apprenticeship to gain supervisory skills and a promotion.

    Tasks could include, but are not limited to:

  • the preparation of food,
  • baking

    There is no supervision of other staff.
