Migrateful Chef Training Mentor

We are looking for chef training mentors to support our 12-week cookery class teacher training programme in Bristol.

We will be taking 6 Bristol-based migrants on a journey from passionate home cooks to confident cookery class teachers. Every training session culminates in a practice cookery class. We focus on self-development through weekly workshops, improving well-being, confidence, leadership skills and spoken English.

As a mentor, you can expect to support your mentee 1:1 in developing and writing down their recipes, shopping & equipment lists, class plans, structuring bios for the Migrateful website, supporting completion of a Food Hygiene Level 2 qualification, facilitating practice classes, washing up and getting stuck in with other ad hoc tasks like shopping for ingredients, and of course eating delicious food from all over the world!

Our training programme will be 2 days per week, Mondays and Thursdays (with some additional days for some mentors, see below), running from Monday 3rd June / Thursday 6th June for 11 weeks, until Monday 12 August (with end of training celebration on the 19th August).
