You will lead a team of Head Chefs, oversee menu development, manage culinary performance, and build strong relationships with key stakeholders. The role combines creativity, commercial awareness, people leadership, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable food solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the culinary strategy across all UCL food outlets and hospitality services.
Develop innovative, nutritious, and commercially successful menus for students, staff, and guests.
Ensure consistently high standards of food quality, presentation, hygiene, and customer satisfaction.
Drive sustainability initiatives, responsible sourcing, and food waste reduction programmes.
Manage food costs and support labour cost controls to achieve financial targets.
Work closely with marketing and operational teams to enhance the campus food offer and respond to customer feedback.
Ensure compliance with all food safety, HACCP, health and safety, and audit requirements.
Lead, mentor, and develop Head Chefs and wider culinary teams across the campus.
Support recruitment, succession planning, training, and performance management activities.
Build and maintain strong relationships with UCL stakeholders and Compass colleagues.
Act as the culinary ambassador for UCL and contribute to wider Higher Education sector initiatives.

Our Ideal Candidate

Proven experience in a senior culinary leadership role such as Executive Chef, Group Chef, or Head of Culinary.
Strong track record of managing multiple food operations within a high-volume environment.
Passion for food innovation, trends, sustainability, and customer experience.
Excellent commercial awareness with experience managing budgets, food costs, and profitability.
Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire, develop, and motivate culinary teams.
Thorough knowledge of food safety, HACCP, and health and safety compliance.
