Apprentice Chef

Becoming an Apprentice Chef is a great opportunity, but becoming an Apprentice Chef in our hospital, where you'll play a key role in nourishing our patients, is truly special.

In this fast-paced kitchen environment, you'll thrive with the support of a close-knit team dedicated to helping you develop your culinary skills., We won't shy away from saying that at times it will be a challenging role, but we know you will expect this and of course, this will be offset by how rewarding it is too.

Your day-to-day role will be to prepare, cook and present food under supervision for staff, visitors and primarily patients to the highest standards in line with the department's quality control guidelines.

We already have a number of great people working within our hospitals, so we asked them what they enjoyed about this department, and this is what they had to say:https://vimeo.com/685894666/323be04684
