Are you studying to become a chef and looking for an internship where you are trusted, challenged and truly included in the kitchen team?

At Dragsholm Castle, we are looking for a Stagiaire (Chef) as part of your culinary education. This internship is designed for students who want hands-on experience in a professional kitchen where quality, craftsmanship and teamwork matter.

This is not about standing in the corner watching – it’s about learning by doing, supported by experienced chefs in a historic and ambitious culinary environment.

What will you be part of?

As a Stagiaire Chef, you will be part of the daily kitchen operations and gain insight into both craftsmanship and structure in a professional kitchen.

Your tasks may include:

• Assisting in daily food preparation and service

• Working with fresh, seasonal and high-quality ingredients

• Learning kitchen routines, mise en place and service flow

• Supporting different kitchen sections under guidance

• Following food safety, hygiene and quality standards

• Being part of service, collaboration and kitchen culture

Your responsibilities will grow as your skills and confidence develop.

Who are you?

This internship is part of a culinary education or chef training programme.

We imagine that you:

• Are currently enrolled in a chef or culinary education and need an internship as part of your studies

• Have a genuine interest in food, craftsmanship and learning

• Are motivated, reliable and open to feedback

• Enjoy working in a team and in a fast-paced environment

• Are curious and willing to take responsibility over time

Previous kitchen experience is a plus, but not a requirement.
