Shepherd Neame is thrilled to announce an opportunity for an Apprentice Commis Chef to become part of our dynamic kitchen team.

If you lack prior experience in culinary arts or hospitality, there’s no need for concern. As long as you embody the qualities we seek, we are committed to providing comprehensive training to equip you with the necessary skills.

Our training partner, HIT Training, will support you throughout your apprenticeship.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive hourly wage.

The Commis Chef Academy features engaging master classes and workshops, requiring travel to a designated training kitchen as part of your educational experience. You will collaborate with industry professionals, enhancing your understanding of essential culinary skills such as preparation, cooking techniques, flavor profiling, and seasonal ingredients.

Requirements:

  • Commitment to a 12-month apprenticeship, with up to 3 additional months for End Point Assessment.
  • A minimum of 6 hours per week in paid hours to complete off-the-job training.
  • Attendance at training sessions at the Chef Academy approximately every four to six weeks.
