Chef de Partie Apprenticeship

A Chef de Partie is responsible for running a specific section of the kitchen.

Typically you will manage and organise a small team of workers to ensure dishes go out on time and the work area remains clean and orderly. In smaller kitchens, you may work on your own as a Chef de Partie as you are the only person in your section. In this important role, you would report to the senior chef.

As part of the Apprenticeship, you will have monthly workplace visits from a Learning Development Advisor, with 6 hours per week off the job training which will be tracked. You will build a portfolio showing your work-based evidence.
