The fast-paced nature of temporary work in hospitality means that a job can be called in at any time then filled within minutes. This means not all our available jobs make it to our advertising pages.

If you’re a Chef, Cook or Manager interested in hearing about temporary work, we would love to speak with you!

Who are we?

Since 1990, CJUK has specialised in placing talented temporary staff to cover sickness, holidays and busy periods at short notice. Our team of recruitment specialists personally match these professionals to hotels, pubs, restaurants and contract catering companies all over the UK.

What’s it like to work with us?

December’s Chef of the Month, Scott said: "The team in the office make regular contact with you, they do their utmost to place me in an environment that is suited to me and unlike many full-time jobs, my career doesn’t stagnate and always progresses.”

We have a brigade of loyal, hardworking and talented Chefs, Cooks and Managers across the UK who do a brilliant job but there isn’t always enough of them to go around! This is why we’re always interested in speaking with people who may be a good fit for us.

The levels we cover are Chef de Partie to Head Chef and the types of places you could be working in are Hotels, Restaurants, Pubs and care facilities. You would always be given thorough details of a job before you’re expected to pack your knives up and head out on the road.
