Your Background…

We’re open to people with great cooking and people management skills. You will be an experienced Chef Manager, used to cooking using fresh seasonal ingredients at volume, managing your kitchen and liaising directly with onsite clients.

What’s in it for me?

So maybe you fancy working somewhere close to home, with daytime hours, and with your weekends and evenings free?

Not to mention all school holidays off, giving you the opportunity for some great work-life balance.

As an added bonus a free meal is supplied on shift! (and uniform)

We’ll give you a place to grow and a career to be proud of.

There are loads of free qualifications and career development opportunities to be had and we’ve got a staff discount scheme at over 850 retailers!

We also run monthly opportunities for the best teams to win shopping vouchers…

Next steps…
