Chef Trainer - #1113717

Job Description

Whether you’re already a Trainer, Assessor or Coach, or thinking about becoming one, it’s time you made the change to Lifetime
What will you be doing?
The hospitality sector is changing rapidly. As a Chef, you’ll know the pressures, the challenges and the opportunities the industry is facing. As experts in this area too, we’re playing a key role in developing the professionals of the future: the talent that will shape the changing face of an industry we all love and that plays a critical role in the economy
If you want to use your experience to shape the future, this is where you can do it. Along the way, you’ll grow your skillset, gain a teaching qualification and open up even more professional opportunities
Working with learners at their place of work, in most cases for many of the UKs best loved hospitality names, you’ll deliver the apprenticeship standard. That includes providing the support, guidance and motivation that helps them to get career-building qualifications. You’ll also help them to achieve transferable skills (in Maths and English) if needed, managing your own admin along the way
It’s also rewarding to know you’re playing your part in rebuilding a sector impacted by both Brexit and Covid – and can enjoy a better work life balance with no late finishes or weekend working!
As industry champions, we’ve established the Loving Hospitality initiative and operate our Chef Academy, an advanced Apprenticeship programme to support retention
What will you bring to the role?

And to get you started, we also offer:
