Chef De Partie

Be Yourself – Be a Bold Team Player – Be Leonardo

Once you’re part of the team, you’re part of the Leonardo community of over 55 hotels across the UK & Ireland!

The Chef de Partie will support the smooth running and objectives of the Kitchen department.

All members of the department work together to create memorable moments for guests, in line with both company and hotel-specific service standards, and collaborate closely with other departments within the hotel.

You will act as an ambassador for your own hotel and the wider Leonardo Hotels estate, demonstrating the company vision, mission and values.

At all times, you will treat others around you with respect, dignity and fairness.

As a Chef De Partie you’ll be right in the heart of the hotel, so we want you to take pride in everything you’ll be doing to support the Head Chef and keep things running like clockwork.

Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role!

You’ll be passionate about your working area and responsibilities, and thrive under pressure whilst working alongside a vibrant team to exceed our guests’ expectations.
