- Order supplies, manage stock, and make sure the kitchen runs smoothly.
- Maintain the kitchen to a 5-star Food Hygiene standard.

- Mentor and support apprentice Chefs, helping them grow their skills and confidence in the kitchen.
Our Chefs should have…

- A passion for food and nutrition.
- A genuine interest in cooking with long-term culinary career goals.
- Experience of conscious practices within food and cooking, including recycling and creating as little food waste as possible.

- A positive, glass-half-full outlook.
- Bags of drive and motivation with a ‘make it happen’ attitude!
- A love for customer service.
