Head Chef – (School Catering)

Are you an experienced and passionate Head Chef looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference? We’re seeking a dedicated culinary professional to lead and manage our kitchen operations in a smaller, vibrant school setting.

This is an ongoing position ideal for someone who enjoys variety, creativity, and the opportunity to deliver high-quality meals in a supportive, close-knit environment. You’ll be working with a relatively small number of learners, helping to provide nutritious, appealing food that supports their well-being and development.

What You’ll Be Doing

*

Leading kitchen operations, including menu planning, preparation, and delivery of balanced meals

*

Managing food ordering, stock control, and compliance with nutrition standards

*

Supervising and motivating kitchen staff

*

Ensuring high standards of food safety, hygiene, and presentation

*

Working collaboratively with leadership to tailor menus to the needs of learners

About You

*

Proven experience in a senior kitchen role (catering, hospitality, or education preferred)

*

Strong leadership and organisational skills

*

Knowledge of food safety, allergen management, and nutrition guidelines

*

Friendly, flexible, and able to thrive in a smaller, community-focused setting

*

A real team player who takes pride in delivering high-quality meals every day

Why Join Us?

*

Ongoing role with stability and growth potential

*

Work in a small school environment where your contribution is valued

*

Less pressure than larger institutional kitchens — more focus on quality, care, and community

*

Supportive colleagues and a positive working atmosphere
