Job Details
Chef Job Vacancy in Northern France!
Chef required at our centre to ensure the catering provision for guests and staff meets and exceeds their expectations.
We're looking for a Chef to oversee the catering preparation at our 19th century converted hotel, Le Pre Catelan, located just ten minutes from the beach-side resort of Hardelot Plage and an hours' drive from Calais.
PGL is the UK's leading provider of residential activity holidays and educational courses for young people. Le Pre Catelan is one of our smaller centres, playing host to a maximum of 90 guests and 14 staff at the height of the season.
As a Chef, you will support the management of the catering team by motivating, providing appropriate resources and organising the team's daily routine, in order to provide the highest standards of customer care whilst maintaining the highest levels of staff retention and development.
Reporting to the Head Chef, you will be able to develop your all round catering skills and awareness, which includes cooking, ordering and accounting of stock and staff supervision.
This is an excellent intermediate development stage for aspirant Head Chefs; you will have the opportunity to increase your responsibility without taking sole charge of the catering operation.
The main responsibilities will be to support the day-to-day running of the catering operation, monitoring the staff during certain shifts and ensuring the highest standards of guest care during meals.
We're looking for a team player with previous experience in the supervision of a catering team, with the ability to train and develop staff, stand in for their immediate line manager when required, and who has knowledge of the wide range of dietary requirements of guests.
Work for PGL as a Chef and find a job that's fun, rewarding and gives you the chance for real career progression, training and qualification opportunities. You'll also have the opportunity to live and work with like-minded people in a friendly team.
Further training and qualification opportunities are available, we offer nationally-recognised NVQs for suitable applicants, helping you to gain a qualification 'on the job.'
The majority of our guests are under 17 so our Chefs rarely find themselves working beyond 8pm.
The Chef vacancy is offered as a fixed term contract with an immediate start through to October 2012.
As a PGL Chef, you'll receive a competitive wage of £143 p/week plus free meals, on-site accommodation, uniform, return transport to centre, training and development opportunities and the chance to live and work in a unique environment.

PGL is committed to the principle of equality and diversity. We welcome applicants from all members of the community. You must have the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this vacancy.
The successful candidate will be subject to clearance from the Criminal Records Bureau, which PGL will pay for.
