The “Careers” page on the Fat Duck website has details of the positions available. At the time we visited the site there were four jobs available, two of them for Chefs de Partie. But if you’re aiming for that kind of job you’ll need to have experience in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

If you’re not quite at that stage in your career yet, The Fat Duck can still help you on your way – they have placements available. You’ll have to find your own accommodation and support yourself, though; and if you’re not British or an EEA national you’ll need to show that you have your visa and/or work permit in order too.

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

The Trust addresses this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. They help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

The Trust supported 37,900 young people last year. Of those, 73% moved into work, education or training.

They have lots of programmes suited to different needs. If you’re between 14 and 30 and need a hand with education, retraining, or finding an interesting job, the Prince’s Trust is well worth a look. (They even offer funding and support for those wanting to start their own business.)
