Chef de Partie

Chefs Bay recruits chefs de partie on an ongoing basis for temporary, shift-based section work at hotels, restaurants, contract caterers, care homes, and event venues.

This is casual agency work, not a permanent vacancy: there are no guaranteed hours and no fixed schedule. You choose shifts through the Ubeya app. Pay runs monthly through PAYE with weekly Earned Wage Access, so you can draw the pay you have already earned before payday, and holiday pay accrued. Pay is agreed per assignment before you accept a shift; typical UK agency pay for this role in 2026 is £15 to £20 per hour depending on venue and region.

Requirements: right to work in the UK (verified before first shift), section experience in a professional kitchen, Level 2 Food Safety (we can arrange training), and an Enhanced DBS for care or education sites (we arrange this where needed). References checked; most candidates are approved within 48 hours.

Locations: shifts at client venues across Merseyside, Greater Manchester, the East Midlands, and London, coordinated from our Wallasey, Manchester, Leicester, and London offices.

To apply, email your CV to [email protected] with the role name in the subject line, or register at chefsbay.co.uk/candidates/.
