Our mission is simple: to provide our teams with the right skills to succeed in their job and our exceptional teams of seasoned specialists customise our catering services to fit children of all ages and satisfy the unique needs of our clients.

Ensure compliance with all food safety, health & safety, and safeguarding policies
Collaborate with the wider catering and school teams to deliver outstanding customer experiences
Accountability for following and championing allergen controls

Qualifications

Candidate Profile:

Ideally, you will have experience as an Executive Chef or Head Chef within a contract catering environment, preferably in independent education, or a high-profile business and industry setting.
Strong leadership and team management skills
Passionate about fresh, quality ingredients and innovative menus
Excellent organisational, communication, and financial management skills
Knowledge of current food trends, sustainability, and allergen control

Additional Information

We pride ourselves on:

People first
We’re a company of individuals, united in doing our best for our clients.

Great food, always
Using only the best ingredients, our food is fresh, authentic and tailored to each school, age group, and specific needs and preferences.

Food education

Our respectful codes of conduct inform how we behave towards our clients and customers, suppliers and business partners, and each other.

Fresh thinking
