From Commis to Sous, the trained hands that make a menu happen — service after service.
The role
Conifer places chefs at every level — Commis, Demi, Chef de Partie, Sous, and Head Chef cover roles — across hotels, restaurants, events and contract catering. Whatever section you run and whatever level you're at, the job is the same at heart: hit the spec, hit the time, and put out food the team is proud of.
Who it suits
You'll thrive here if you love the craft, work cleanly under pressure, and want shifts that match your level rather than ones that under-use you. Reliable, well-organised, and calm in service — the chefs we place are the ones kitchens ask back.
A typical shift
Arrive, change, brief, prep. You'll work your section through mise en place, support the team as service builds, then plate clean and consistent food through the rush. Between services it's deep cleans, ordering checks, and prep for the next sitting. We brief you on the kitchen's standards and quirks before you arrive so you can land running.
Requirements & expectations
- Relevant experience for the level (Commis through Sous)
- Food hygiene certification (Level 2 minimum; Level 3 for senior roles)
- Right to work in the UK
- Knife skills and section experience appropriate to the role
- Reliability and a clean, professional kitchen presence
Skills you’ll gain
- Range — different cuisines, brigades, and service styles
- Speed and consistency in high-volume environments
- Allergen, HACCP, and food safety in practice
- Section leadership and team coaching at senior levels
- A network across some of the best kitchens we partner with
Where you could work
Conifer places Chefs across luxury hotels, restaurant groups, members' clubs, event caterers, and corporate kitchens. Tell us your level, your style, and what you want next — we'll find the right pass.
About Conifer
Conifer isn't another agency. We're the partner businesses call when reliability matters, when fit matters, and when "good enough" isn't good enough. We look after our people, take care of the compliance behind the scenes, and pick up the phone when you need us — every shift, every site, every time.
