Prep Chef / Events Chef
Alchemilla | Nottingham
Wednesday–Friday | 9am–5pm
Additional weekend/event availability required with plenty of notice
We are looking for a reliable, enthusiastic and experienced Prep Chef / Events Chef to join the team at Alchemilla.
This is a varied role, working primarily Wednesday–Friday, 9am–5pm, supporting our kitchen team with preparation, production and general kitchen duties, while also getting involved in our busy programme of events.
The role
As well as working at Alchemilla, you will have the opportunity to work across Mollis, our second business — a Nottingham-based fried chicken and street-food concept. This means the role is ideal for someone who enjoys a varied working environment and doesn’t want every day to look the same.
You will be involved in:
- Preparing ingredients and components for service
- Supporting the Alchemilla kitchen team with daily prep
- Preparing food for events and off-site catering
- Working at events for both Alchemilla and Mollis
- Supporting our catering operation at Nottingham Forest hospitality home games
- Maintaining excellent standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and organisation
- Working efficiently as part of a busy kitchen team
- Helping with general kitchen duties when required
Events & additional availability
We regularly host and attend events, both through Alchemilla and Mollis. Some events may take place on a Saturday or Sunday, and you will be expected to be available for these when required. We will always provide plenty of notice wherever possible.
Alchemilla also provides catering for the Nottingham Forest hospitality boxes, so availability for home match days is an important part of the role.
About you
Previous professional kitchen experience is essential.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Reliable and punctual
- Organised and able to work independently
- Comfortable working in a busy kitchen environment
- Passionate about food and maintaining high standards
- Flexible and happy to work across different types of events
- A good team player with a positive attitude
- Able to maintain high standards of hygiene and food safety
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants a Monday–Friday-style kitchen role with the added variety of events, hospitality and street food, working across two exciting Nottingham food businesses.
Staff food is provided on site.
If you’re looking for a varied kitchen role with a great team and the opportunity to work across Alchemilla and Mollis, we’d love to hear from you.
