Location: Quadrant House, Coventry City Centre, CV1 2
Schedule: Permanent, Full Time: 4 on 4 off shift rota including weekends, 7am-7pm shifts
Salary: £29,000 per annum + excellent benefits

This could be a great next career move if you're currently a chef manager, cook, chef, head chef, cook supervisor, senior cook, kitchen manager, or catering manager, looking for new responsiblities and a role where your work makes a real difference for people at a very challenging point in their lives.

Ready to make a difference?

As a Head Cook at Quadrant House, you'll be part of our Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC) for the Midlands and East of England. You’ll play a key part in creating a positive, respectful environment where food supports wellbeing, dignity, and care. From planning menus to leading a catering team, your contribution will have real purpose – helping us create a positive impact on communities and the individuals we support.

You'll lead the delivery of high-quality catering services that support people in a vital, people-centred environment. Your work will ensure safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate meals are provided every day.

What you’ll do as a Head Cook

You’ll be entrusted to:

Lead the delivery of catering services in line with food safety, health and safety, and operational standards
Plan menus and manage food ordering, ensuring cost control and budget adherence
Prepare and oversee the provision of varied, nutritious meals, including special diets and culturally appropriate options
Supervise and support kitchen colleagues, providing training and maintaining high standards
Maintain accurate records to meet HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), food hygiene, and company requirements
Carry out quality checks and respond to feedback or complaints to continually improve service delivery

Does this sound like you?

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you have:

Level 3 Food Safety and Level 3 HACCP qualifications, plus Level 2 Allergens in Catering
Experience in a large-scale catering environment, ideally with at least three years in a similar role
Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to support and motivate a team
Excellent organisation and time management, with a proactive approach to problem-solving
A commitment to working in a diverse, people-centred environment with care and respect

Vetting and checks

This role requires BPSS clearance, which involves identity verification, employment history, and criminal record checks to meet government security standards. An Occupational Health Questionnaire will also be required to ensure we can offer appropriate support for your wellbeing and performance.

Discover all you need to keep growing

We’re one of the top 1% of international employers, so you can have confidence you’ll be part of a highly supportive culture with leaders you can count on to help you achieve your goals. From mentoring and training to our focus on internal progression, we’re proud to offer clear development opportunities – and the support and tools to help you seize them.

What we offer

25 days plus bank holidays
Up to 6% contributory pension scheme
Over 1,100 internal courses available, funding for qualifications and apprenticeships (including L3 Team Leader and L5 Operations Manager apprenticeships), mentoring opportunities, and a focus on internal progression
Employee Assistance Programme, Bupa Anytime HealthLine, wellbeing app, 30% off at Serco-managed leisure centres, and 24/7 access to a virtual GP service
Discounts across around 1,000 retailers, from food and clothing to days out, entertainment and travel
