Drive meal uptake through innovative food presentation, Discovery Tables, classroom tastings, and seasonal marketing campaigns
Ensure all meals meet allergen, dietary, food hygiene, health & safety, and fire safety standards, maintaining audit-ready compliance and Green Safeguard standards
Maintain Food for Life records and standards to support successful annual audits
Organise special functions and events, including occasional out-of-hours support
Conduct regular operational and food safety audits and complete all required administration and reporting accurately and on time
Build strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders while supporting training and company initiatives

What You Bring:

Essential:

Experience cooking on a large scale (100–1300 students)
Experience following recipes in a professional kitchen
Prior staff supervision or line management experience
Strong knowledge of fresh food preparation, recipes, allergens, and food safety regulations
Understanding of health and safety regulations and the ability to enforce them
Ability to work under pressure in a busy kitchen environment
Positive leadership, professionalism, and a passion for food
Hold basic food handling certifications, including:
- NVQ Level 2
- Level 2 Food Safety Certificate
At least one year of hands-on cooking experience (Training in Food Hygiene and Health & Safety provided)

What We Offer:

A dynamic and supportive work environment
Competitive salary and benefits
Full training and protective uniform provided
No unsociable hours and public holidays off—including Christmas!
Unlimited access to mental health and wellbeing support
Employee Assistance Programme for legal, financial, and personal support
Discounts, cashback schemes, and financial benefits
Career progression, learning opportunities, and apprenticeships
Cycle to Work Scheme and volunteering opportunities

At Sodexo, we believe everyone deserves a place to belong. This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to be part of something bigger. If you’re ready to lead with passion and cook with purpose, we want to hear from you!

Apply today and help us create a brighter future!
