Introduction
Travelling around the world, your job will range from cooking for the ship’s company on board warships or Royal Marines on land operations, to serving a fine dining experience to politically influential VIPs and Royalty. Responsibility for ordering, receiving, and accounting for provisions to sustain the menus you write ashore and at sea.
About the Employer
The Royal Navy (RN) is responsible for the protection of British interests at home and around the World. 95% of all world trade passes through the high seas and every year Britain imports £524 billion worth of goods. The RN takes an active part in the protection of British Shipping. Around the United Kingdom the RN protects vital fishing stocks by monitoring fishing activities in our waters. We recruit throughout the year, so please ignore Key Dates.
What You’ll Do
The Royal Navy represents the United Kingdom worldwide, forging new alliances and maintaining old ones. Being a Caterer in the Royal Navy is a career that is literally miles from anything you could do at home. Taking responsibility of ordering, receiving and accounting for provisions to sustain the menus you write and there’s a good chance you could be at sea for months at a time, the role of Caterer becomes about a lot more than food. You’ll be at the centre of keeping morale high and health at its optimum while you are on board, while maintaining excellent standards of personal, food and kitchen hygiene. Ensure compliance with procedures, menu specifications and recipes and produce food meeting portion controls, and budgetary constraints. Adapt and produce dishes to meet special dietary, religious and allergenic requirements and follow, complete and maintain production schedules, legislative and quality standard documentation. Use specialist kitchen equipment, communicate internally and externally with customers and colleagues and commit to personal development activities.
Training Outcome
You’ll start your naval career as an Able Rate. With experience and further training, you could be promoted to Leading Hand and beyond. If you show the right commitment, skills, and academic ability, you could become a Commissioned Officer. Members of the Royal Navy are promoted on merit. Work hard and you can rise through the ranks.
