About the Role:
We’re looking for a motivated and skilled Chef to help deliver outstanding food and service to a diverse range of customers.

* Be flexible and ready to work evenings and weekends when needed (with time off during the week in return)
What we Offer:
This is a 5 in 7-day contract, including weekends and evenings, based on business needs. You’ll report to the 2nd Chef/Head Chef and play an essential role in maintaining high standards across all service points.
At the University of Winchester, we value our staff and are committed to your growth and wellbeing. As part of our team, you’ll benefit from:
* Uniform provided
* Various travel discounts available
* Holiday entitlement of 21 days per year, rising by 5 days after 5 years’ service, with the option to buy extra leave up to a maximum of 35 days
