We are looking for a candidate who thrives under pressure, possesses impeccable technical skills, and is ready to start immediately.

This is more than just a temporary position; it's a gateway to a stable career within a respected establishment. Successful performance can lead to a permanent contract.

We have direct relationships with employers across Halifax, from hotels and restaurants to care homes needing Healthcare Support Workers and retail outlets seeking Pharmacy Assistants.

If you're also Looking For Work in other sectors, our consultants can help you find parallel opportunities in hospitality, retail, or logistics, much like we do for Stock Replenishers or Casual Labourers.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

As a Chef de Partie, you will be responsible for running a specific section of the kitchen (e.g., sauces, grill, larder). Your day-to-day duties will ensure seamless service and exceptional food quality.

Section Management: Take full responsibility for your designated station—preparing, cooking, and presenting all dishes to the head chef's specification. Maintain impeccable mise en place, ensuring all ingredients are prepped, labelled, and stored correctly for service.
Quality & Consistency: Uphold the highest standards of food hygiene and safety (HACCP). Monitor portion control, waste, and the quality of every plate leaving your section. Conduct daily checks of equipment and report any faults immediately.
Team Leadership & Training: Supervise and support Commis Chefs and Kitchen Porters within your section. Demonstrate techniques, share knowledge, and help train junior staff to develop a skilled and cohesive team, similar to the leadership needed in other sectors we staff, like for a Housekeeper team lead.
Menu Development & Stock Control: Assist the Sous Chef with menu planning, recipe costing, and introducing new dishes. Manage stock levels for your section, conducting accurate stock takes, placing orders with suppliers, and minimising waste through effective rotation (FIFO).
Service Execution: Work efficiently during peak service times, coordinating with other sections (pass) to ensure timely delivery of dishes. Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment throughout and at the end of your shift, adhering to all health and safety regulations.

Candidate Requirements & Skills

To excel in this Chef de Partie role in Halifax, you will need a combination of formal training, practical experience, and the right attitude. We value dedication and a proactive approach as much as technical skill.

Proven Experience: A minimum of 2 years experience working as a Chef de Partie or a senior Commis Chef in a fast-paced, quality-focused kitchen (hotel, restaurant, or high-volume catering). A relevant NVQ Level 2/3 in Professional Cookery or equivalent is highly desirable.
Technical & Safety Knowledge: Exceptional knowledge of modern cooking techniques, cuisines, and kitchen equipment. A firm, demonstrable understanding of food safety (Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate required, Level 3 preferred), HACCP procedures, and allergen awareness.
Leadership & Communication: Strong leadership potential with the ability to motivate a small team. Excellent communication skills are vital for liaising with front-of-house staff, other kitchen sections, and management. This interpersonal skill is as crucial here as it is for a Healthcare Support Worker communicating with patients.
Resilience & Flexibility: The capacity to work under intense pressure, adapt to changing menus or service demands, and work flexible shifts including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine passion for the culinary arts are essential.

Transferable Skills Welcome

If you have experience in similar high-pressure, detail-oriented roles like a Pharmacy Assistant (managing stock, precision, compliance) or a supervisory Housekeeper (maintaining standards, team coordination), your foundational skills are highly relevant. We encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds within the service and care sectors to apply.
