£18.00–£25.00 per hour | Flexible shifts | Regular work | Immediate starts
One week you could be cooking at a Premier League stadium. The next, a racecourse, a festival, a boutique hotel or a corporate kitchen. No two weeks look the same.
Mint People are looking for experienced Relief Chefs of all levels to join our growing team - with regular opportunities.
We're hiring Chefs de Partie, Sous Chefs, Head Chefs and Lead Chefs, with rates of £18–£25 per hour depending on the role, venue and assignment.
You tell us when you're available, and we'll offer you shifts that fit. Want five shifts one week and none the next? Regular ongoing hours? Extra chef work alongside your current job? That's exactly how Mint works.
Why work with Mint People?
Your responsibilities depend on your level - from running a section as a Chef de Partie through to leading a brigade and service as a Sous, Lead or Head Chef. Typical duties include:
We'd love to hear from experienced Chefs de Partie, Sous Chefs, Head Chefs, Lead Chefs, Event Chefs and Contract Catering Chefs.
You'll need:
A driving licence and access to a car are helpful but not essential - many assignments are easily reached by public transport.
For over 19 years, Mint People has provided hospitality and event staffing across the UK - from some of the country's biggest stadiums and racecourses to festivals, hotels and contract catering operations.
We're not recruiting for one kitchen or one fixed rota. We're building a team of great chefs who want genuine variety throughout the year.
If you're an experienced chef looking for flexible work, we'd love to hear from you.
Earn £18–£25 per hour, choose work around your availability, and get access to some of the region's most exciting venues and events.
