Job Description
Are you a talented and adaptable chef seeking your next exciting challenge in Middlesbrough? Our team at Staffing Agency is urgently seeking a skilled Temporary Chef to join a dynamic and high-quality kitchen environment in the heart of Middlesbrough TS1. This role offers an immediate start, providing you with the perfect opportunity to showcase your culinary skills, gain valuable experience with a reputable local business, and secure regular, well-paid work through one of the region's leading recruitment partners. Whether you're between permanent roles, looking to increase your income with flexible shifts, or want to trial a new workplace before committing, this temporary chef position is designed for professionals who deliver excellence under pressure.
As a specialist in hospitality and catering jobs, we understand the fast-paced nature of commercial kitchens. The client, a well-regarded establishment in Middlesbrough known for its excellent food and service, requires a reliable chef to cover seasonal demand, staff absence, or special projects. By applying through Staffing Agency, you gain access not just to this single role, but to our entire network of hospitality and catering opportunities across the UK. We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with both our candidates and clients, ensuring a smooth, professional, and rewarding experience for everyone involved. This is more than just a temp job; it's a gateway to a flexible career with a supportive agency behind you.
Key Responsibilities
- Preparing, cooking, and presenting high-quality dishes to the establishment's exacting standards, maintaining consistency and speed during service periods.
- Assisting with menu planning, food ordering, and stock control to minimise waste and manage kitchen budgets effectively.
- Ensuring full compliance with all Health & Safety and Food Hygiene regulations, maintaining a spotlessly clean and organised kitchen environment at all times.
- Working collaboratively as part of a kitchen brigade, supporting other chefs, kitchen porters, and front-of-house staff to deliver a seamless customer experience.
- Demonstrating adaptability by working across different kitchen sections as required, and contributing creative ideas for daily specials or menu development.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Chef, Commis Chef, or Chef de Partie in a professional kitchen environment. A formal catering qualification (NVQ/City & Guilds) is highly advantageous.
- A solid understanding of modern cooking techniques, a passion for food, and the ability to work efficiently under the pressure of a busy service.
- Essential certifications: A valid, up-to-date Food Hygiene Certificate (Level 2 minimum) and a strong awareness of COSHH and HACCP procedures.
- A positive, can-do attitude, reliability, and flexibility regarding shift patterns, including evenings and weekends, with the ability to start work immediately in Middlesbrough TS1.
