Relief has remained steady, but we are expecting the work to slow down in November as expected for the time of year before picking up again in December.
If you are not working and have availability please do send a copy of your CV in and we will chase references as standard.
We can mark you available but priority is given to those who have work on placements via CIS over the summer.
For existing chefs who have done work all year round would suggest 40 – 60% chance of getting you work over the winter.
If you can also get in touch with your availability for Christmas and New year.
We have 74 relief chefs currently out work this is up by 8 from last year.

If you need to renew yours please follow this link https://www.rehis.com/community-training/courses/course/elementary-food-hygiene everyone that is doing relief work via Chefs In Scotland must have one.
