Availability of work
For permanent job, the availability of chefs is decent
Things a chef will look for a in a permanent job is wage ideally they will look for good hourly paid jobs or a decent salary with over time paid. Accommodation to be provided as part of the package, hours around 40 – 45, for senior positions maybe a bonus scheme.
We do suggest to employers, that if they look to pay hourly rates say from £16 chef de partie to £19 Sous to £22 for head chef jobs
If you would like to register a permanent job please get in touch with Ian, Ruth or myself
For Relief chefs the availability is excellent and these are with well known chefs to CIS, we now have a Magic 50 in place and most of these chefs are available to work over the festive period.
If looking for a chef for over this period please do not leave too late as the availability will get tighter.
Chefs - If you are looking to register for permanent work please send your CV’s to either ian@chefsinscotland.co.uk – ruth@chefsinscotland.co.uk – jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
