What will I be doing?

As a Cook Manager, you’ll lead a friendly kitchen team to deliver fresh, seasonal meals to students each day. This is a hands-on management role, where you’ll oversee the kitchen, support your team, and ensure smooth service.

Managing the day-to-day running of the kitchen
Leading, motivating, and developing your catering team
Preparing and serving fresh, seasonal meals for the school
Planning menus, managing stock, and ensuring compliance with food hygiene and safety standards
Liaising directly with onsite clients and stakeholders
Ensuring service runs smoothly and efficiently

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

We’re looking for an experienced Cook/Chef Manager with strong leadership skills and a passion for food.

Previous experience managing a kitchen, ideally in schools or high-volume catering environments

Strong people management and team leadership skills
Good organisational and communication skills
A proactive, hands-on approach with pride in maintaining high standards
Good understanding of food hygiene and safety regulations

If you’re enthusiastic about cooking and leading a team to deliver quality food, we want to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?

This role offers an excellent work-life balance:

Daytime hours, no evenings or weekends
All school holidays off
Free meal on shift and provided uniform

Plus:

Opportunities for training, development, and career progression
Access to free qualifications
Staff discount scheme across 850+ retailers
Monthly team incentives, including chances to win shopping vouchers

You’ll also have the chance to help children explore healthy eating and build positive food habits that last a lifetime.

Next steps

If this sounds like the right role for you, we’d love to hear from you!

Please note: An interview, trade test & kitchen visit will be required as part of the recruitment process.
