Why join us?

Commis de Partie — Fresh Food Kitchen | Great Work-Life Balance

Looking to take the next step in your kitchen career without sacrificing your evenings?

We’re looking for a passionate Commis de Partie to join our fresh-food focused kitchen. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build their skills, learn from an experienced team and develop their career in a professional kitchen — while enjoying a genuine work-life balance.

• No evening work — finish your shifts with your evenings free. We believe great chefs shouldn’t have to choose between a career they love and a life outside the kitchen.
• Fresh food, cooked from scratch — work with quality ingredients and develop strong foundations across preparation, cooking and service.
• Real opportunity to develop — build your confidence and broaden your skill set across different sections of the kitchen, with support from an experienced team.
• Learn and progress — we want to help you become a better chef. You’ll have the opportunity to learn new techniques, take on responsibility and develop towards your next step.
• A positive kitchen environment — a professional, supportive team where hard work is valued, standards are high and development is encouraged.

If you’re enthusiastic about food, keen to learn and looking for a kitchen role that offers both career development and a better quality of life, we’d love to hear from you.

Our History

The story of BEAR starts with two best buds: Craig and Michael. The pair grew up together, copied each other’s work at school, and spent most of their teenage years trying to out-skill each other on their skateboards. Fast forward to adulthood – Craig spent some time travelling around Australia and fell in love with the all-day coffee, cocktails & dining scene over there.

After Craig returned to the UK, he decided that he wanted to bring some of that fabulous coffee culture to his hometown of Uttoxeter and so recruited the help of his pal, Michael, to get things off the ground. Craig & Michael got their heads together and set about researching the market, learning all they could and developing new skills with a view to create something super special.

In February 2016, BEAR Uttoxeter opened its doors and has been the busiest coffee spot in town ever since. Following the success of store number 1, the BEAR concept has grown to span across the midlands and beyond.

Job Description

In order for BEAR to make great food, each store requires wonderfully talented chefs, like you! Your role is to deliver exceptional food for our brand. It will be your responsibility to ensure our dishes are crafted to specification and always upholding our high standards. Your knowledge, love and passion for food will be obvious in everything that you do. The atmosphere at BEAR is fast-paced but casual, with a strong focus on the quality of our coffee, fresh food, cocktails, and always providing the best service.
