As our new apprentice you will focus on creating, testing and improving new food products for large-scale production. Unlike a traditional chef, who prepares and serves dishes in a kitchen, a Development Chef works on recipe innovation, product consistency and emerging consumer trends.
You will receive full training, mentoring and support throughout your apprenticeship.
Your main duties will include:
Assisting the New Product Development team in developing commercially viable products for our customers
Taking every opportunity to learn the skills required to become a successful Development Chef, including product knowledge, nutrition and commercial awareness
Developing a strong interest in food, ingredients and emerging food trends, while building useful industry contacts and resources
Building effective working relationships across all areas of the business
Supporting the Process team with product trials and launches to ensure successful factory scale-up and develop your operational knowledge
Assisting the Development team in promoting a strong food culture and championing our food values both internally and externally
Accurately inputting recipes onto the development system and ensuring raw materials are sourced in a timely manner to support the costing process
Supporting Development Chefs with customer presentations while learning the skills and techniques needed to confidently lead presentations independently in the future
Learning about the ingredients, methods and processes used within the kitchen, and understanding how they translate into factory production
Training:
Our Commis Chef apprenticeship has a college day-release, which you can attend at The Grimsby Institute (Nuns Corner, Grimsby)
You’ll complete master class sessions to learn to cook and prepare a wide range of different dishes, including seafood, offal, game, meat and fish
A dedicated Vocational Trainer will also visit you at work, on average once every4-6 weeks, to establish a personal learning and development plan, outlining a schedule of training activities and objectives
You will complete a mixture of on and off the job training, including workshops, face to face training and working towards creating a portfolio of relevant practical evidence
You’ll also be supported by Development Chefs and your colleagues at all times, and will be mentored and trained constantly
This type of practical learning is a great way to train, and you’ll learn a huge amount in a short time
You will have a review every 8-12 weeks with your Manager and Trainer to discuss your progress
Training Outcome:
This apprenticeship programme provides a fantastic opportunity for apprentices to build a strong foundation of practical development chef skills
The apprenticeship will lead to a permanent job role for the right candidate, and could include internal progression opportunities
