Out and about Friday 22nd February

So today marks my 9 year anniversary of working with Chefs In Scotland. I was first asked to come in for a couple of weeks to do some filing and here we are 9 years later. Its been a great experience working with Michael and seeing a few other come and go and now we have a stable team with Jessica and Jade. Here is to the next 9 years 😊😊

We have over 30 relief chefs working all over Scotland, relief work is still pretty quiet, but we are managing to get a few chefs out. A lot of the jobs coming in are more area specific and have no accommodation, so this time of year it is no problem getting a chef booked because we have good availability. We have had more relief jobs coming in for mid-season and the positions have been filled with chefs happy to get confirmed in advance.

We are happy to meet you here in Moffat to discuss relief work or permanent work we are available Tuesday – Friday just get in touch to check our availability.

To register for relief work for the new season ahead please email your CV to jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk including at least 2 recent work references and your up to date hygiene certificate.

Relief chefs we have out working at the moment include:

Sharon Shearer is back at the Kitchen Brasserie where she is covering the head chef for a couple of weeks

Ross Hunter is at the Glenburn Hotel where he was last year in the summer, he is there for another 2 weeks
