Pizza Chef (Trainee Assistant Manager – Elephant NY Pizza)

Parkgate, Cheshire, GB
Full time
Salary discussed at interview and based on experience, performance and progression.

This is not just another kitchen job.

This is a fast-track into hospitality leadership for someone who wants more than just shifts and a rota.

You’ll start on the pizza section, learn the operation inside-out, and be developed into a future Assistant Manager through structured training, real responsibility, and hands-on leadership experience.

If you’re ambitious, reliable, and ready to step up - this role is built for you.

What you’ll be trained to do

Over time (with support), you’ll learn how to:

🍕 Run a high-volume NYC-style pizza kitchen
👥 Lead and motivate a team during busy services
📊 Understand KPIs, standards and performance targets
🧠 Solve problems quickly when things get hectic
🧼 Maintain excellent food safety and operational standards

This is a genuine development role - not a dead-end title.

The role

Fast-paced. High standards. No two shifts the same.

What you get

✅ A clear pathway into Assistant Management
✅ Structured training and progression
✅ Increasing responsibility and decision-making power as you develop
✅ Support from experienced managers
✅ Free food on shift & staff discounts (as it should be)
✅ A workplace where effort actually leads somewhere

Pay is dependent on experience and reviewed as training milestones are achieved.

This role is ideal if you:

Experience in pizza or high-volume hospitality is a bonus, not essential.

Long-term opportunity

This role is designed to develop someone into a permanent Assistant Manager and beyond.
If you show up, learn fast, lead well and hit standards - there is genuine progression inside Elephant.
