Delivering culinary workshops, training sessions, and development programmes.
Supporting and promoting food education and engagement activities within schools.
Establishing and leading tasting sessions, recipe clinics, and food innovation workshops.
Supporting new contract mobilisations and key operational projects.
Working alongside school clients to showcase food innovation and enhance customer satisfaction.
Reviewing site food strategies and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
Supporting large-scale hospitality and special event catering across the business.
Acting as a culinary ambassador for Pabulum, championing food quality, nutrition, and innovation.

Who We're Looking For

You'll Bring:

Previous experience in a senior culinary, food development, executive chef, or food innovation role.
Strong knowledge of food trends and the ability to translate these into engaging concepts.
Experience of menu development and food concept implementation.
Strong understanding of purchasing, sourcing, recipe management, and food production.
Excellent coaching, training, and leadership skills.
Strong stakeholder management and communication abilities.
A collaborative and influential approach to working with teams and clients.
Excellent planning and project management skills.
The flexibility to travel regularly across the business.

Desirable

Experience within education catering, contract catering, or large-scale food service environments.
Knowledge of School Food Standards.
Experience developing menus for primary and secondary school environments.
A recognised professional culinary qualification.
