What will I be doing?

As a Cook, you’ll support the onsite Chef Manager and wider team in delivering fresh, nutritious meals for students and staff.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing and cooking a range of meals and snacks following set menus
  • Supporting with food prep using fresh, seasonal ingredients
  • Assisting with service, including occasional counter service and till work
  • Ensuring food is prepared and presented to a high standard
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised kitchen and dining environment
  • Following food safety, hygiene, and health & safety procedures at all times

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who enjoys cooking and takes pride in the food they produce.

  • Previous experience in a kitchen or catering environment preferred (school catering is a bonus, not essential)
  • Basic cooking skills and willingness to learn and develop
  • A positive, reliable, and team-focused attitude
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
  • Good understanding of food hygiene and safety standards
  • A genuine interest in preparing good, fresh food

You don’t need to be a fully trained chef, we’re happy to support the right person to grow and develop their skills.

We’re not in the business of making school food - we’re here to make great food, and that’s why our customers love us.

What’s in it for you?

This role offers a fantastic work-life balance:

  • No evenings or weekends
  • School holidays off
  • No late nights or split shifts

Plus, you’ll benefit from:

  • Free meals on shift
  • Ongoing training, development, and career progression opportunities
  • Access to free qualifications
  • A staff discount scheme across 850+ retailers

This is a great opportunity to build your skills in a supportive environment and develop a career in catering.

Interested?

If you think you’ve got what it takes, we’d love to hear from you!
