At ATC Pirbright, you’ll help lead a high performing kitchen where pace, teamwork, and creativity come together. You’ll take charge of daily operations when the Head Chef is offsite, producing meals and keeping service running smoothly.

What you’ll do:

As our 2nd Chef, you’ll:

  • Lead kitchen shifts in the Head Chef’s absence
  • Motivate, organise, and support the wider team to deliver smooth, efficient service
  • Prepare dishes to spec with full understanding of menu and allergen requirements
  • Manage production levels, minimise waste, place orders, and maintain accurate stock records
  • Receive and store deliveries using FIFO standards
