Chef Vacancies across the UK

Chef vacancies - We are looking for experienced Chefs to provide high quality nutritious meals for residential guests and
staff at our children's adventure holiday centre across the UK.

PGL Travel Ltd is the UK's leading provider of residential activity holidays and study courses for young people. Guests
spend their days canoeing, climbing, orienteering and quadbiking - building up quite an appetite so our Chef role is
crucial!

We currently have a Chef vacancy at Little Canada, our activity centre set in 48 acres of ancient woodland, facing onto
the calm tidal waters of Wootton Creek on the Isle of Wight. For more information on this location, please visit our
website.

Our canteen-style mass catering operation prepares up to 850 covers per mealtime at the height of the season. Using as
many fresh ingredients as possible, you'll provide first class nutritious meals for our guests and staff team and have
the opportunity to increase your responsibility without taking sole charge of the catering operation.

As a Chef, you will support the management of the catering team by motivating, providing appropriate resources and
organising the team's daily routine, in order to provide the highest standards of customer care whilst maintaining the
highest levels of staff retention and development.

Reporting to the Catering Manager, you will be able to develop your all round catering skills and awareness, which
includes cooking, ordering and accounting of stock and staff supervision. This is an excellent intermediate development
stage for aspirant Head Chefs; you will have the opportunity to increase your responsibility without taking sole charge
of the catering operation. The majority of our guests are under 17 so our Chefs rarely find themselves working beyond
8pm.

We're looking for a team player with previous experience in the supervision of a catering team, with the ability to train
and develop staff, stand in for their immediate line manager when required, and who has knowledge of the wide range of
dietary requirements of guests.

Further training and qualification opportunities are available, we offer nationally-recognised NVQs for suitable
applicants, helping you to gain a qualification as you work.

This Chef vacancy is offered as a fixed term contract starting immediately and working through until November 2012.

As a PGL Chef, you'll receive a competitive monthly wage plus free uniform, meals, training and development opportunities
and the chance to live and work in a unique environment. On-site accommodation is available at a highly subsidised rate.

For more information about one of these positions, please contact Emma Hicks in the PGL Recruitment Team on the number
provided.

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter detailing your relevant skills and experience to Emma Hicks at the email
address shown.

PGL is committed to the principle of equality and diversity. We welcome applicants from all members of the community. You
must have the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this vacancy.

The successful candidate will be subject to clearance from the Criminal Records Bureau, which PGL will pay for.
