  • Culinary Excellence: Lead the preparation of delicious and nutritious, high-quality meals using our menus, while actively overseeing and driving menu development and innovation.

  • Team Development: Champion the growth of your unit by leading, coaching, and training all staff in a positive and professional manner, building a resilient, high-performing team.

  • Commercial Control: Maintain full control over all costs (stock, food, labour). Expertly manage profitability and improve efficiency through rigorous cost control.

  • Sales & Growth: Drive sales success through exciting monthly promotions and creative added-value events.

  • Client Relations: Build and maintain positive, professional relationships with clients and customers, acting as the friendly, expert face of Miquill.

  • Compliance & Audit: Guarantee 100% compliance with all company procedures and statutory legislation (H&S, Hygiene, Allergens), performing regular internal audits.

  • A natural, positive manager with prior experience effectively managing and motivating a team in a commercial catering setting.

  • A robust financial understanding of gross profit management, cost control, and a proven track record of achieving sales targets.

  • Strong, demonstrable craft-based experience using fresh ingredients and maintaining high cooking standards.

  • Strong, in-depth working knowledge of Health and Safety practices and compliance within a professional kitchen.

  • OND or HND Qualification, or equivalent management certification, is preferred, but not essential if experience is strong.
