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.

This is a large site and busy food operation – we are looking for an experienced Chef Manager used to volume cooking, experience in overseeing multiple outlets/service areas and managing a team of at least 15 catering assistants.

As manager you will head up the team, making sure the service runs smoothly and that all due diligence is adhered to.

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, free meals are 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…

If you think you’ve got what it takes, and the times above suit you, we’d love to hear from you!
