Job Introduction
At Sodexo, we are passionate about delivering exceptional food and service, and we are now looking for a talented and motivated Chef de Partie to join our team.
This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic and friendly individual to help drive our catering services forward, delivering outstanding food and customer experience to our client in a fast-paced, demanding environment. The role offers a fantastic work-life balance!
The successful candidate will be self-motivated, confident working independently, and capable of stepping up to fulfil Sous Chef duties in their absence. While experience in a similar role is highly valued, we believe potential is just as important — full training and development will be provided to the right candidate.
Key Responsibilities:
- Complete pre- and post-service checklists, ensuring all areas are fully prepared for the opening and close of service.
- Plan menus and manage food production to deliver the highest quality standards, including special dietary requirements, allergens, and healthy living options.
- Maintain full compliance with food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards, including risk assessments, safe systems of work, and required training.
- Deliver outstanding customer service while maintaining high standards of housekeeping.
- Support the GSM and Sous Chef as required, including managing food orders in their absence and completing end-of-day cash handling and reconciliation.
What We’re Looking For:
- Minimum 1 years' experience in a similar Chef de Partie or supervisory catering role.
- Food Safety Level 3 qualified, with a strong understanding of safe food handling and compliance standards.
- Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to manage costs, minimise waste, and support budget control.
- Experience working on a large client site, delivering breakfast, lunch, and hospitality catering services to a high standard.
What we offer:
Working with Sodexo is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of something greater. You’ll belong in a company and team that values you for you; you’ll act with purpose and have an impact through your everyday actions; and you’ll be able to thrive in your own way. In addition, we offer:
- Mental health & wellbeing support
- Employee Assistance Programme for personal, legal, and financial advice
- 24/7 virtual GP & lifestyle rewards
- Discounts for you & family
- Financial tools & retirement plan
- Cycle to Work & Paid volunteering day
