Commis Chefs - Manchester
We’re always looking for fresh Mint People to join the family. Work with us and benefit from flexible shifts, weekly pay, industry training, and working in some of the UK's very best venues!
Commis Chefs - Manchester Stadiums
£15 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 Commis Chefs to join our growing Manchester team - with regular opportunities right across Manchester and Greater Manchester.
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.
