Job description

Maternity Cover - up to 12 months

We have an exciting phase of growth ahead, and we're looking for a bold, entrepreneurial senior leader to join us on a maternity cover contract for up to 12 months. This is a unique opportunity to step into a senior role with real influence-leading across a diverse portfolio of catering contracts while helping shape the future of a fast-growing organisation.

This role is about more than maintaining standards; it's about raising them. You'll take ownership of your own business portfolio, lead and inspire a team of senior professionals, and play a key role in driving meaningful change, strengthening client partnerships, and delivering results that truly matter!

While this position is initially offered as a fixed-term maternity cover, there may be future progression opportunities within the business for the successful candidate as we continue to grow.

Key Responsibilities

Make it happen: Drive smart, smooth, high-quality operations across all sites

Keep clients happy: Build solid relationships and grow the business

Know the Numbers: Own budgets, forecasts, and profitability

Lead the Way: Motivate and grow amazing teams

Think Ahead: Spot trends, spark ideas, and stay ahead of the game

Who are we looking for?
