The Role
Our Grill Chefs are the heartbeat of Voodoo Chicken-bringing the heat, flavour and magic to our busy street food stalls.
You’ll prepare and cook our signature New Orleans-style chicken, keep the stall clean, organised and ready for service, and deliver brilliant hospitality to every customer. You’ll also act as Assistant Supervisor, stepping up to lead the shift whenever the Supervisor is away. This includes organising the team, maintaining food quality and safety standards, managing stock and ensuring service runs smoothly.
No two days are the same, and the energy is always high.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and cook our food consistently to Voodoo Chicken’s recipes and standards
- Set up, operate and close down the grill and street food stall safely and efficiently
- Deliver fast, friendly and memorable customer service
- Maintain excellent food hygiene, health and safety, and cleanliness standards
- Monitor stock levels, minimise waste and communicate any shortages
- Support and motivate colleagues during busy services
- Act as Assistant Supervisor and confidently run the shift when the Supervisor is away
- Allocate tasks, manage breaks and keep the team focused throughout the day
- Take responsibility for service standards, cash handling and the smooth operation of the stall
- Help the team achieve its sales and customer-service targets

What We’re Looking For
- Experience working on a grill or in a fast-paced hospitality environment is preferred, although full training will be provided

Who We Are
Voodoo Chicken began as a one-man stall in 2017 and has since grown to four busy locations across London. We’re proud members of KERB and trade at some of the UK’s biggest and most prestigious events.
At the heart of what we do is hospital-ity: treating every customer with the same care that a hospital gives its patients. Our values are being united, passionate, empowering and diverse.
We’re one of the few hospitality employers committed to paying the London Living Wage, and our food received a Great Taste Award in 2022. We also give back through our annual Day of Giving, when we donate 100% of sales—not just profits—to volunteer groups that bring people together in the communities we serve.
We believe in equity, diversity and inclusion. Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, you belong here.
Ready to be part of something special? Don’t let it slide-apply today and let’s cook up something amazing together!
