Quieter periods offer greater flexibility around development, training and taking time back.This would particularly suit a chef coming from a busy hotel or banqueting background who still wants quality, variety and large-scale events – but with a far more balanced working week.The interview process includes an initial meeting and site tour, followed separately by a practical trade test.Apply today or send your CV to yasmin AT corecruitment DOT com....Read more...
