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:

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

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
