Full job description

Impact Food Group (IFG) is one of England’s fastest-growing school food providers, serving around one million students every day across more than 1,500 schools. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality, nutritious meals that support student wellbeing and enjoyment.

Our brands include Innovate, Cucina, Chapter One (Independent Schools), Hutchison, and Dolce, reflecting our breadth of experience and reach across the school catering sector.

About the role

STARTING IN THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR (Late August)

Job Title: Cook

School Location: Sawston Village College, Cambridge, CB22 3BP

Working Days: Monday to Friday

Shifts & Working hours: 7am-3pm (37.5 hours per week)

Working Weeks: 39 weeks per year (term time plus inset days)

Pay Details: £20,805.75 per Annum

What will I be doing?

As a Chef, you’ll support the onsite Chef Manager in delivering high-quality, freshly prepared meals for students and staff.

Your responsibilities will include:

Assisting with the preparation of main meals and snacks
Cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients for high-volume service (200+ covers)
Supporting with occasional counter service and till work
Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised kitchen and dining environment at all times

What are we looking for?

We’re not going to overload you with buzzwords - we’re simply looking for great chefs who care about food.

Experience as a chef, ideally within a school or contract catering environment (but not essential)
A passion for cooking with fresh ingredients and delivering quality food
Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen
Strong teamwork and communication skills
A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn
Good understanding of food hygiene and safety standards
Reliability and pride in maintaining high standards

We welcome people from all backgrounds, and we’re proud to have chefs with restaurant-quality experience working in our schools. If you’re passionate about food and want to make a difference, we want to hear from you.

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

What’s in it for you?

This role offers a fantastic work-life balance:

No evenings or weekends
School holidays off
No late nights or split shifts

Plus, you’ll benefit from:

Free meals on shift
Ongoing training, development, and career progression opportunities
Access to free qualifications
A staff discount scheme across 850+ retailers

You’ll also have the chance to build meaningful relationships with students, helping them explore new cuisines and develop a positive relationship with food that lasts a lifetime.

Interested?

If you think you’ve got what it takes, we’d love to hear from you!
