As our business grows, we are finding a rapid rise in demand for all of our services and are now looking to expand our team. Our aim is to make the reputation of Philleigh Way synonymous with culinary excellence, community and celebration and we are looking for special people who share our passion and creativity to deliver exceptional standards, every time, both here at the school and to join us for our exciting schedule of events this spring and summer.
We currently have vacancies for both Chef and Front of House positions on a casual basis, for pop-up events across Cornwall as well as The Big Feastival this summer. We offer good rates of pay and mileage, as well as a fun and positive work atmosphere. With the FoH roles you also get a discount on any cookery courses that catch your eye.
As with any position here, a positive attitude and defaulting to a smile is the most important criteria. Events are all about team work.
For FoH roles experience within the hospitality industry is preferred, but isn’t essential; if you’re a people person with a good work ethic, a customer-focused approach and a willingness to learn then that ticks a lot of boxes for us.
