Job Description
Chef Vacancy - work in France!
We are looking for an experienced Chef to provide high quality nutritious meals for residential guests and staff at Château du Tertre children's adventure holiday centre in Normandy, Northern France.
PGL Travel Ltd is the UK's leading provider of residential activity holidays and study courses for young people. Guests spend their days canoeing, climbing, orienteering and going on excursions - building up quite an appetite so our Chef role is crucial!
Located in the heart of the rural Pays de Loire region just outside the pretty town of Ambrières-les-Vallèes, Château du Tertre is an impressive 19th Century Château set within a 36 acre estate. The centre can accommodate up to 250 guests each week at the height of the season and employs a staff team of 30 who live and work at the site.
Our canteen-style mass catering operation prepares up to 300 covers per mealtime at the height of the season. Using as many fresh ingredients as possible, you'll provide first class nutritious meals for our guests and staff team and have the opportunity to increase your responsibility without taking sole charge of the catering operation.
As a Chef, you will support the management of the catering team by motivating, providing appropriate resources and organising the team's daily routine, in order to provide the highest standards of customer care whilst maintaining the highest levels of staff retention and development.
Reporting to the Catering Manager, you will be able to develop your all round catering skills and awareness, which includes cooking, ordering and accounting of stock and staff supervision. This is an excellent intermediate development stage for aspirant Head Chefs; you will have the opportunity to increase your responsibility without taking sole charge of the catering operation.
The main responsibilities will be to support the day-to-day running of the catering operation, monitoring the staff during certain shifts and ensuring the highest standards of guest care during meals.
We're looking for a team player with previous experience in the supervision of a catering team, with the ability to train and develop staff, stand in for their immediate line manager when required, and has knowledge of the wide range of dietary requirements of guests.
Work for PGL as a Chef and find a job that's fun, rewarding and gives you the chance for real career progression, training and qualification opportunities. You'll also have the opportunity to live and work with like-minded people in a friendly team.
Further training and qualification opportunities are available, we offer nationally-recognised NVQs for suitable applicants, helping you to gain a qualification 'on the job.'
The majority of our guests are under 17 so our Chefs rarely find themselves working beyond 8pm.
The Chef vacancy is offered as a fixed term contract with an immediate start through to October 31st 2012.
As a PGL Chef, you'll receive a competitive wage, free uniform, meals, on-site accommodation and return transport from a UK departure point, plus you'll get the chance to live and work in a unique environment. Please be aware this is available as a residential position only.
Come to our Recruitment Open Day on March 21 at Barton Hall, near Torquay in Devon to find out more about our Catering, Retail, Housekeeping and Maintenance jobs. Please visit our website for more info and for details on how to book your place.

** Please note we do not accept CV's for this role. **
