In return, we offer an excellent work-life balance, support, and a fantastic company culture for a business committed to providing healthy food to children. At Pabulum, your role is important; without our employees, we wouldn't be where we are today — a strong, innovative, and growing business.

Your key responsibilities will include:

* Preparing delicious food
* Managing key aspects of the kitchens, including Health & Safety, Training & Development, and maintaining the Unit Bookwork
* Receiving and managing food deliveries and storage
* Developing excellent relationships with clients, team members, and customers to ensure the catering contract grows positively


Our ideal Chef Manager will be:

* Passionate about food and customer service
* A great communicator who works well as part of a team, with supervisory skills to manage, develop, and motivate a large team
* Financially astute, with full training provided on processes and software systems
* Qualified/experienced in a craft background


Role details and benefits include:

* £25,500 per annum
* 35 hours a week, Monday to Friday
* Term-time only contract, offering excellent work/life balance
* Holiday pay
* NEST pension scheme
* Employee Assistance Programme
* Ongoing training and development
* Discount membership with Unlock


Our core ingredients for your role:

* The food: We prioritize Education, Passion, Sensation, and Innovation. 94% of our food is freshly prepared on-site daily, using 75% British produce, with minimal frozen or processed foods.
* The people: Ensuring an excellent customer experience to keep customers coming back.
* You: Joining our positive and professional team as a Chef Manager.

Since working in Education, you will need to provide two employment/character references, and we will conduct an Enhanced DBS / Criminal Record Check (paid for by us).
