It’s hard to believe that we are already at the start of May. It feels as if January was only yesterday. As we get further into the season, we are being kept on our toes with both permanent and relief jobs being registered daily. We are securing chefs with new jobs for the season every week and we are getting new chefs being registered with us too for both permanent, seasonal and relief work.
As we start the new month, we all have new targets to aim for, this gives us goals to work towards. I enjoy having monthly targets as it keeps me motivated to meet them, depending on how the month goes they can’t always be met. I suppose it is part and parcel with the job. I enjoy having goals both in work an outside of work, I enjoy the gym and set myself monthly goals which I always want to meet. I think having goals is an important aspect of working and social life, it gives you something to aim for and keep you motivated.
With the first day of the month drawing in, have you set yourself any personal goals for this month? Either in work or in a personal hobby of yours?
We have 74 relief chefs out working this is up by 11 from last year. We have 23 confirmed so far this week with a few more in the pipeline.
We are looking to get more chefs registered on relief so if you fancy seeing Scotland then get in touch rates are £13 to £18 per hour weekly paid PAYE, accommodation is provided at no charge, return travelling expenses are paid on completion of the agreed stint and you are guaranteed a minimum of 40 hours over 5 days or 8 hours per day.
We are also happy to meet chefs at our office in Moffat and this can also be to discuss permanent work just get in touch to check our availability.
Overall it has been a busy week with plenty of permanent jobs going on our website on a daily basis, to get automatic updates of these please register with https://www.chefsinscotland.co.uk/content/account/
We still require hygiene certificates for some of our relief chefs please email these to jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
Myself and Jessica are in the office until 3pm today and Jessica will work 10am – 12noon tomorrow and on Monday Jessica and Jade will be in the office 10am – 4pm

The latest trend on my social media at the moment is the ‘Meatless Monday’s’ trend. Beyoncé and Jay – Z have promised free tickets to fans that are willing to go Vegan for at least one day of the week. The response has been crazy and social media has blown up over it. Being a big meat eater myself I wonder if I could really stick to a Vegan diet for the sake of Beyoncé tickets but I would certainly give it a go!
The idea has been inspired from Beyoncé’s personal trainer who has released a ’22 day nutrition green print project’ designed to introduce meatless Mondays into your diet or to consume 2 plant based meals per day to qualify. Entries will be submitted and a winner will be chosen on 22nd May 2019.
I can fully understand why there is a growing trend for veganism at the moment and I think the challenge of ‘meatless Monday’s’ is a good idea. It is certainly something I will consider for the sake of 1 day out of 7. It really just shows you the power celebrities have over social media and what some people will do to get something for free.
Would you ever consider a vegan diet if your favourite singer/ band was offering free tickets to their shows?
