The Commis de Cuisine supports chefs with food preparation, basic cooking, plating, stock handling and maintaining clean, organised work areas. Candidates are expected to have an interest in professional cooking, good hygiene awareness and the ability to follow recipes, safety procedures and instructions accurately. Previous kitchen experience or culinary training is advantageous, although willingness to learn is important. The role requires teamwork, reliability, physical stamina and flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in a busy hotel environment. Spanish is useful, while additional languages may be valued. The successful candidate should provide friendly, efficient support and maintain Meliá’s standards for quality, cleanliness and guest satisfaction.

Spain’s islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, offer regular opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts, tourism, maintenance and customer service. Tenerife combines volcanic landscapes, beaches and a relaxed international lifestyle, with warm weather throughout much of the year. Local culture includes Canarian food, festivals, music and a strong outdoor tradition. Living costs vary, with rents generally higher in popular tourist areas, so arranging accommodation and budgeting carefully is important. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa but must register locally and obtain the required identification. Non-EU applicants normally need an employment visa and work authorisation arranged through Spanish authorities; requirements depend on nationality and contract. New arrivals should secure a Spanish tax number, social security registration and health coverage. Spanish language skills improve employment prospects, although English and other languages are valuable in tourism.
