Chef

£15.2 per hour

Reach for Remarkable

Location: IRC Campsfield, Kidlington
Pay rate: £15.20 per hour
Contract type: Permanent, full-time, 36 hours per week, Fri - Sun (No late nights)
Shift pattern: 12-hour shifts, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm

Bring your passion for food to a place where your skills make a genuine difference.
Aramark UK is looking for a committed and motivated Chef to join our team at IRC Campsfield, Kidlington . This is a unique opportunity for an experienced chef who wants work–life balance without stepping away from the craft they love.


Why is this role different?
This isn’t your standard hospitality role. You’ll be part of a highly respected culinary team within the Judicial sector, helping to deliver nutritious meals while contributing to a purposeful environment. And with shifts between 7am–7pm on weekends, your evenings are finally yours — a rarity in hospitality.

You’ll work as part of a skilled and supportive kitchen team, preparing and producing meals for residents three times a day. You’ll also supervise and support enhanced residents working in the kitchen – helping them learn new skills and ensuring a smooth, safe operation.

Please note: For sector compliance, you must have lived in the UK for the past 5 years, hold the legal right to work, and be able to pass full security vetting and DBS checks.

Why join us?

•    Free meals on shift
•    Free on-site parking
•    Blue Light Discount Card (after probation)
•    Employee Assistance Programme + in-house Mental Health Champions
•    Access to our Employee Benefits app – save on supermarket shops, weekend treats, and more
•    Life assurance, pension contributions, and generous holiday entitlement (with the option to buy more)
•    Real opportunities for development – we promote from within, offer apprenticeships, and provide ongoing training to support your progression.

What you'll do:

•    Preparing and cooking quality food from a set pre-ordered menu
•    Collaborating with prisoner workforces, guiding, and supporting them in culinary tasks
•    Ensuring food is produced efficiently and in line with recipe sheets
•    Completing kitchen paperwork and due diligence
•    Maintaining high standards of hygiene and cleanliness
•    Being an effective team player with the confidence to manage conflict if needed
•    Participating in ongoing training.

What we're looking for:

•    Residency in the UK for the past 5 years and legal right to work
•    The ability to pass full security vetting and DBS checks
•    Previous chef experience and a passion for great food

If this sounds like the next step in your culinary journey, apply now and show us the value you’ll bring.

If you’re already an Aramark employee, please inform your line manager before applying.
