What will I be doing?

As a Chef Manager, you’ll take full responsibility for running a high-spec kitchen, serving fresh, seasonal meals to students every day at our independant schools. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll manage your team, maintain exceptional standards, and ensure smooth, professional service. You’ll also be involved in catering events, parent functions, and special school occasions, delivering food to the highest presentation and quality standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading, motivating, and developing your catering team
Preparing and serving fresh, seasonal meals to a high standard
Planning menus, managing stock, and controlling budgets
Ensuring all food hygiene, safety, and compliance standards are met
Building strong relationships with school clients, boarding staff, and stakeholders
Overseeing the smooth running of service, from prep to finish
Planning, preparing, and executing catering events, banquets, and special functions

We’re not in the business of making school food - we’re here to make great food, and that’s why our clients and customers love us.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for an experienced Chef Manager with a passion for high-spec catering and strong leadership skills.

Proven experience managing a professional or high-standard kitchen, ideally in independent schools or premium catering environments
Ability to cook fresh, seasonal food at a consistently high standard
Strong people management and team leadership skills
Experience managing kitchen operations, stock, budgets, and compliance
Excellent organisational and communication skills
A proactive, hands-on approach with pride in maintaining exceptional standards
Experience or willingness to support catering events and client functions

If you thrive in a high-standard, professional environment and enjoy leading teams to deliver exceptional food, this is the role for you.

What’s in it for you?

Competitive salary
Daytime hours, with some flexibility for events
Free meals on shift
Opportunities for ongoing training, development, and career progression
Access to free culinary qualifications
Staff discount scheme across 850+ retailers
Monthly team incentives with the chance to win shopping vouchers

This is your opportunity to lead a high-spec kitchen, work on premium catering events, and develop your career in an exceptional environment.
