Magic 50 for winter

Over the next week we are doing a list of our “Magic 50 for the winter” for Relief work

This will be based on job completion, feedback and grading and you will then be offered work first over the next 5 to 6 months through until Easter 2024.

It continues to look as though Relief work will remain patchy over the coming months due to hard economic times and generally, it seems, world uncertainty.

The last thing that we want is to have chefs marked available on the relief database who are not getting offered any work.

Jobs are still coming through to CIS but more a steady trickle now than in the summer when often there is a large queue of jobs and we are not able to take on more jobs.

There are plenty of permanent jobs out there and details are available on our website, www.chefsinscotland.co.uk

Good luck
