What makes a chef de partie a Hero?

Be willing to learn: One of the great advantages of chef de partie jobs with Staff Heroes is the potential to work with a number of head chefs. Use that breadth and variety as an advantage – soak up as much learning as you can from all the chefs you work with. It will boost your knowledge, make you a far more rounded, capable and valuable member of the team, and increase your marketability in your next temporary or permanent post.

Share your knowledge: Your role as a temporary station chef, sous chef or demi chef de partie in London may give you lots of opportunity to learn, but there will also be a requirement to share your own knowledge with more junior members of the kitchen brigade. Helping to bring on a kitchen’s commis chef can be the difference between a chef and a Hero.

Look for the chance to impress: You may be temporary, but if you can add greater value to your role – and to your employer’s business – you may find yourself commissioned for more and more work. Where you can, help the head chef develop new dishes, demonstrate a rigorous approach to food hygiene, and use your initiative to find new ways maximise profits.
