Variety is the spice of life!
Are you an aspiring Chef looking for a full time Apprenticeship opportunity that will allow you to gain a nationally recognised qualification?
Compass Group is the global leader in catering and support services. We employ more than 11,000 people in Australia who work across 600+ sites nationally. Although we are a large organisation, food is core to our business, and as a result we have a large team of experienced Chefs (more than 1000!) who are key to our success.
The 2021 Chef Apprenticeship will be a new program that will see you rotate across a number of venues and/or locations over the three years. This will offer you the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills and expand your knowledge of cuisines, service types, kitchen operations and compliance and safety procedures.
You will work with some of our senior Chefs, have the leadership and guidance of a Culinary Mentor and be supported by our Apprenticeship Program Manager for the duration of your Apprenticeship.
