You will lead a small and supportive kitchen team of 10, including a Pastry Chef and Commis Chef, within a collaborative and well-organised operation focused on quality and creativity.

You will be joining Holroyd Howe, one of the UK’s leading contract caterers, providing fresh innovative food services solely to independent schools and colleges. We are a team of experienced professionals who tailor our catering service provision specifically to suit children of all ages in order to meet the bespoke requirements of each school.

The safety and wellbeing of the people we serve is at the heart of everything we do. A key element is effective allergen management; achieved through training, communication, and care, we create mealtimes where every pupil has a safe experience. 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.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Lead kitchen operations ensuring the highest standards of food quality, safety, and presentation
Create innovative and seasonal menus tailored to the school’s requirements
Manage kitchen staff recruitment, training, and development
Control budgets, stock, and supplier relationships efficiently
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
We educate pupils through food, encouraging them to understand and develop their own personal tastes and make informed food choices.

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

Fresh thinking
New ideas for food, service and ways of working help us maintain our position as creative leaders in school catering.

In order to be considered for this role you must be able to demonstrate that you have the Right to Work in the UK.
