Kickstart your career in catering with an exciting Chef de Partie Apprenticeship at Dauntsey’s School. This is a fantastic opportunity to earn while you learn, gaining hands-on experience in a busy, high-quality kitchen while working towards a Level 3 professional qualification.
Working alongside our experienced chefs, you’ll be involved in preparing, cooking and presenting meals for over 1,200 pupils and staff, as well as supporting a wide range of events. From day one, you’ll build practical skills, learn industry techniques, and develop the confidence to thrive in a professional kitchen environment.
We’re looking for someone with a genuine passion for food, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. You don’t need previous experience—just motivation, reliability, and the drive to build a career in hospitality. In return, you’ll receive structured training, ongoing support, and the chance to be part of a friendly and professional team.
This is a full-time role, on a rota basis, with 20% of your time dedicated to off-the-job training as part of your apprenticeship—all delivered within your working hours.
If you’re ready to take your first step into the culinary world, we’d love to hear from you.
