As an apprentice Production Chef, you will be based in a busy kitchen at Swansea University. You will be responsible for preparing and serving the kind of food that truly brightens our clients' and customers' days, all within the UK’s market-leading food service company.

Tasks could include, but are not limited to:

• Preparing delicious, high-quality food that delights our clients and customers
• Listening and acting on customer feedback to consistently improve our food services
• Supporting with the creation of new menus and creative food concepts
• Monitoring inventories to keep our kitchens well-stocked
• Take in deliveries and store correctly
• Overseeing kitchen cleaning responsibilities to maintain hygiene standards
• Complying with Food Handling, Hygiene and Health and Safety regulations

There is no supervision of other staff.

Alongside your day-to-day duties, you will complete the Food Production & Cooking Level 2 Apprenticeship. This is a nationally recognised qualification, and the primary objective of the Production Chef is to work with centrally-developed, standardised recipes and menus to produce food, often in high volumes. You will learn ‘in-unit’ and you will be supported through this qualification by your Personal Development Coach who will visit you at your place of work every 6-10 weeks. You will also attend around 6 workshops, including an Introduction Day at a location outside your normal place of work. All travel expenses will be covered by your employer. You are not expected to complete any of your Apprenticeship work outside of your normal working hours and will be given set time each week to complete your work.
