Train Under Head Chef Eric Kavanagh at Kingdom 1795
In a region filled with standard, high-volume seasonal kitchen roles, Kingdom 1795 offers something genuinely rare: a true teaching kitchen.
We are offering an ambitious Chef the opportunity to train directly under our Head Chef Eric Kavanagh. This isn't just another chef job—it is an intensive, hands-on masterclass designed for a chef who wants to elevate their skills, refine their technique, and cook at a serious level using the absolute best of seasonal Irish produce.
What Makes This Role Different?
- Direct Mentorship Across All Sections: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Eric in a teaching-focused environment. You will receive in-depth, intensive training across starters, mains, and desserts, mastering modern refinement, classical techniques, and precise dish development.
- Help with finding accommodation: Moving to or settling in County Kerry? We’ve got you covered. We provide help with accommodation so you can transition smoothly, settle into Killorglin with complete ease, and focus on your craft from day one.
- Work-Life Balance Built-In: We know that world-class cooking requires a rested mind. Enjoy fixed, consecutive days off every Monday & Tuesday, giving you consistent time to recharge and enjoy the Kingdom.
- Ingredient-Led Integrity: Work with incredible local Kerry producers, fresh line-caught seafood, and top-tier seasonal Irish ingredients in a small, supportive, and highly focused kitchen team.
Who We Are Looking For:
- A passionate Chef de Partie (or a hungry, experienced Commis Chef ready for a well-supported step up) who cares deeply about real food, technique, and continuous learning.
- Someone with a strong work ethic, great attention to detail, and a desire to build a career-defining skill set under focused mentorship.
- A team player who thrives in a respectful, creative, and professional kitchen environment.
