Contract Catering Chef

HRC Recruitment is actively seeking experienced Contract Catering Chefs to work across a variety of client sites in Edinburgh and West Lothian.

What’s on Offer:

  • Pay: £16–£18 per hour (site dependent) plus accrued holiday pay
  • Weekly pay: Work Monday–Sunday, get paid the following Friday
  • Flexible assignments: Covering sickness, holidays, and short-term gaps – hours may vary weekly
  • Site variety: Work in different kitchens – some with full teams, others as a lone chef
  • Transport: A driving licence and access to a car is desirable, as many sites are not easily accessible by public transport. However, it is not essential 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experienced chefs – minimum 1 year in a similar contract catering setting at either CDP or Sous Chef level.
  • Qualified professionals – with Food Safety Level 2 and Allergen Awareness (refreshers can be provided)
  • Prepared and presentable – with your own chef whites or appropriate kitchen attire
  • Adaptable team players – comfortable working agency assignments and able to lead a team when needed

If you’re a chef who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment and enjoys the flexibility of agency work, we’d love to hear from you.
