Chef Kok Schiphol

Chef Kok
... because you are a chef that makes everyone happy

Cooking. Most cooks can do that. And usually quite nicely. Fine, but a good cook is not necessarily a good chef. As Chef Kok, it is primarily about being able to inspire a team to cook well and think with hospitality. By making colleagues a little better every day. And by letting them make each other better. You don't do this 'just anywhere', but at a top location, namely at Schiphol. We don't include a plane ticket, but we do offer (inter)national growth opportunities. Interested? We are already happy to have you!

What will you do as Chef Kok?
Making guests and team members happy. Just like the Hospitality Manager who proactively supports you. And vice versa, because together you form an unbeatable kitchen team with a mission: proving that you can perfectly service a huge number of guests, in a good, collegial atmosphere. Even when it suddenly gets bizarrely busy. You continue to build and expand the team (think of onboarding and on-the-job training) and inspire them to achieve great results. This sometimes involves fanatically coaching and observing while cooking, tasting along, and ensuring quality and safety. Furthermore, we expect you to effectively coordinate and drive all activities. Whether it concerns supplies, maintaining administration, or proposing (process) improvements: you stay on top of it. With happy guests and colleagues as the result.

• You onboard, coach, commit, and develop a team of Assistant Cooks, a Chef de Partie, and Independent Cooks, in close cooperation with the Hospitality Manager
• You manage the staffing and the orders and ensure tight administration
• You put your signature on the quality, both 'culinary' and regarding safety and hygiene
• You continuously drive for excellent performance, including from a guest and cost perspective
• You spot opportunities for improvement and/or innovation and lead the resulting projects

• You work at Mbo 4 level and, thanks to (at least) 4 years of experience, feel at home in large kitchens
• You have proven that you can make a team better: 2 years of coaching experience is a must
• You know the regulations regarding safety, (social) hygiene, and food safety
• You have the master craftsman diploma in hand or want to obtain it quickly
• You combine culinary fingerspitzengefühl with a passion for coaching
• In short, you are the type of chef that makes both guests and colleagues happy
• You are an early bird; starting at 06:00 in the morning is no problem for you

• Because you find a guaranteed start date and a salary between €3,045 to €3,786 depending on experience, and a great meal attractive
• Because you love to pass on your knowledge of cooking techniques to others
• Because you are looking for job security, good pension accrual, and great discounts
• Because you get happy from the opportunities a large, international organization offers
• Because you also get happy from generous allowances and reimbursements
• Because you receive a good travel allowance
