With around 65 schools spanning across all areas of the City of Sunderland, including Houghton-Le-Spring and Washington we serve over 10,000 nutritious and delicious meals to children every school day. We take pride in our quality standards and the talents of our workforce.
We are looking for experienced chefs / cooks / assistant cooks who are looking for the next step into managing a school kitchen.

You will therefore need to have had previous experience working in a cooking capacity (eg chef, cook) and ideally also have a cooking qualification (C&G 7061/2 / NVQ Level 2 or equivalent)
It is a hands on role and you will be responsible for preparing and cooking a range of 2 main course meals as well as sandwiches / jacket potatoes, salads and desserts to pupils and school staff (daily meal numbers ranging anywhere between 90 – 280/ day). You’ll be responsible for supervising the team of staff within the kitchen, overseeing all day to day kitchen and service matters as well as administration / paperwork duties such as food ordering, stock taking, completing wage returns etc.
Working in a school environment is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling but requires a customer friendly approach and a happy and positive manner.
