Food safety certification is an asset but not mandatory if you can demonstrate strong working knowledge.
Compensation
BBD $3,750–$5,500 per month
Placement within the range will reflect demonstrated leadership experience, operating capability and readiness to take responsibility for the kitchen.
Staff meals and training are provided. There is also an opportunity for increased responsibility and advancement as the company grows.
