Chef

A Chef organises and prepares food items in a commercial kitchen. You might work in a high end restaurant, a small café or for a catering company. Chefs plan menu items and may need to cater for special occasions or for other needs such as special dietary requirements. You might order supplies, check the quality of ingredients and supervise other staff working in your kitchen.

Chefs should be creative and passionate about food preparation. You’ll need to be highly organised and able to manage work in a busy kitchen environment. Chefs should have strong leadership skills and be able to communicate well with their team. You must be able to handle several tasks at one time and be prepared to work a range of shifts such as nights and weekends.
