Commis Chef

WINNER! Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Award – Institute of Hospitality 2 years in a row!

The Marsham Court Hotel has been making huge developments over the last few years, making it one of the most accessible and inclusive venues in the UK. With a focus on employee welfare, flexibility and creating a dynamic atmosphere, we pride ourselves on our amazing team. We have even won National and International Awards to prove it! We are one of the busiest venues in Bournemouth and our team love working with the buzz and energy that comes with being a part of the Marsham Court family.

As our Commis Chef you will:

• Work within an established team to deliver delicious food
• Be keen to learn new skills and develop your food repertoire
• Have an eye for detail to deliver consistency across all dishes
• Show a passion for food and pride in what you serve
• Help our Head Chef to maintain an immaculate five star hygiene rated kitchen

We are looking for people with the desire to learn and grow in an environment that encourages you to use your flare to deliver amazing experiences for our guests. We even have a dedicated Training & Development Manager focused on mentoring you and giving you the skills you need to succeed in your career, whether that be in hospitality or any other industry.

We can offer a guaranteed 30 hour per week contract and we are busy all year round so you will be guaranteed hours, even in the winter months. That being said, we believe in a good work/life balance and make sure that our team are well rested between shifts. It is rare that you will work more than a 40-hour week.

Some experience in a kitchen environment is preferred, but we will give you full training.

A Hotel With Heart

The Marsham Court is committed to being the most responsible and ethically driven business we can be. Following a major development project, we are now one of the most accessible hotels in the UK with facilities that go way beyond what you would find in your average hotel.

We have developed our CREW team who work within our business to drive change in three main areas: Sustainability, Community Outreach, and Employee Welfare. These projects are designed and led by the team meaning you can be a part of the change that you want to see.

Some of the projects we are working on include:

• New recycling and energy saving programmes
• Mental health first aid qualifications for key team members
• An increased social calendar to get our team together more often outside of work
• A partnership with Bourne Free to deliver an event for the elderly LGBTQ+ community
• A huge fundraising event for Dorset Children’s Foundation

Diversity Equity & Inclusion

Here at the Marsham Court Hotel, we live by five key values to ensure we create a happy and supportive environment for everyone, whether they are a guest or a member of our team.

• We want our Marsham Court family to be as diverse as the world around us
• We make sure that every person who works here has the same opportunities to develop and thrive
• We believe that everyone should be treated the same, fairly and with respect
• We create a culture of understanding, support and unity
• We acknowledge and embrace each other’s differences rather than ignoring them

We are part of the Send Me 2 Work scheme, helping us to become a Disability Confident Leader. If you need any reasonable adjustments to be made during your application or interview process, please feel free to ask and we will be happy to help.
