Lead Our #FoodForGood Team!

Do you have a passion for food, leadership, and making a real difference to children every day?

At City Catering Southampton, we are passionate about providing high-quality, nutritious meals to children across Southampton and beyond. As a charity, we believe every child deserves the very best lunchtime experience — and we’re looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, and organised Head of Kitchen to lead one of our school catering teams.

This is a rewarding term-time role that combines hands-on cooking, team leadership, and the opportunity to make a positive impact within local schools and communities.

Location: Our Lady St Joseph
Hours: 25 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Working Weeks: 39 weeks per year (term-time only)
Pay: £14.14 per hour

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same! You’ll be responsible for:

· Planning, preparing, cooking, and serving nutritious meals to a consistently high standard

· Leading, motivating, and developing your kitchen team to deliver an excellent service

· Overseeing the day-to-day operation of the kitchen

· Ensuring compliance with food safety, allergens, special diets, and health & safety procedures

· Managing stock control, ordering, and minimising food waste

· Building positive relationships with school staff, pupils, and parents

· Supporting special events, theme days, and promotional activities

· Training, supporting, and developing Assistant Cooks and Catering Assistants

· Maintaining accurate kitchen records and completing required administration

· Creating a welcoming and positive dining experience for children

What We’re Looking For

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

· Experienced in managing or leading a kitchen, ideally within a school or catering environment

· Passionate about food quality and customer service

· A confident leader who can motivate and support a team

· Organised and able to work well under pressure

· Knowledgeable about food safety, allergens, and kitchen hygiene procedures

· Friendly, approachable, and professional

· Reliable, proactive, and solution-focused

· Flexible and willing to support other locations when required

Previous supervisory or leadership experience is essential, and a Level 3 Food Hygiene Certificate would be an advantage.

At City Catering Southampton, we are proud of our positive culture, high standards, and commitment to equality, safeguarding, and employee wellbeing.
