Senior Chef De Partie - Monday - Friday

Compass Group; London; On-site; GBP 38,000 - 39,000

Job description

We are specialists in-house staff dining that tops the high street, hospitality and corporate fine dining for any and every occasion, and front-of-house services that create a lasting first impression.

We don't offer a one-size-fits-all service solution; our services go beyond expectations and are crafted to suit every individual client. What's more, we take the health of our customers to heart, and our ideas take delicious food and drink to the next level. With our clients' wellbeing objectives as our steer, we create a buzzing and social experience that sustains, motivates, and supports in achieving a happy and healthy workforce. It is a proven approach, with our delighted clients ranging from financial institutions and media companies to stunning conference venues and high-tech workspaces.

We take having fun very seriously! Outside of work, we encourage every member of staff to join in our regular charity evenings, quiz nights, and sports events (as long as they let us win!), not to mention our legendary Christmas parties. We fully embrace the philosophy of work hard and play harder. We embrace the diversity and individuality of all of our employees, allowing them to reach their full potential and help our team to grow stronger.
