Job Overview

We are recruiting experienced chefs of all levels — from Chef de Partie to Lead Chef — to join our team working at Sunderland Football Club throughout the season. This exciting role offers the opportunity to be part of the match day experience at one of the North East’s most iconic venues.

Each booking will consist of 5 working days — 4 preparation days followed by 1 match day — ensuring consistent, high-quality delivery and smooth kitchen operations.

Pay Range: £15–£20 per hour (depending on role and experience)

You’ll also have the opportunity to work with us at other venues and events across the UK, with full flexibility to choose your shifts. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career, network with industry professionals, and gain valuable experience at high-profile sporting events.

12. Comply with all Health & Safety, Food Hygiene, and COSHH regulations

Benefits

13. Competitive pay: £15–£20 per hour (venue and role dependent)
14. Hourly paid holiday pay in addition to your rate
15. 5-day structured working pattern per booking (4 prep days + 1 match day)
