Trade the Late Nights for Changing Lives: Two Chefs Wanted! Are you a culinary professional passionate about fuelling the next generation with healthy, delicious food? Do you love the thrill of the kitchen but crave a better work-life balance than the traditional hospitality industry offers? If you are ready to trade gruelling late-night services for a rewarding role that impacts young minds through nutritious cuisine, Denstone College has the perfect opportunity waiting for two talented individuals. We are looking for two hardworking, creative Chefs to join our friendly and supportive catering family. We know the industry can be tough, which is why we are proud to offer a schedule and compensation package that actually lets you breathe.

This role offers an exceptional work-life balance that is rarely seen in the culinary world: Unbeatable Time Off: You will work full-time during term time (34 weeks) plus just 9 additional weeks outside of term. This means you will enjoy a massive 9 weeks off every single year. Imagine having over two months of dedicated downtime to travel, rest, or spend with family! Competitive, Reliable Salary: You will earn a salary of £27,406.49. Financial Peace of Mind: Your salary is paid evenly over all 12 months. Even when you are enjoying your generous weeks off, you will receive a steady, predictable paycheck. What You Will Bring to the Table To thrive in our busy, vibrant kitchen, the successful candidates will have: The Qualifications: A Catering and Hospitality qualification or relevant hands-on experience. A Worldly Palate: Experience cooking with a wide range of different foods and global cuisines. An Eye for Detail: Confidence and experience in catering for allergies and specific dietary requirements. High-Volume Hustle: The ability to handle a busy service and cater to large numbers efficiently. A Collaborative Spirit: The ability to work seamlessly as part of a team, but also the initiative to work unsupervised when required.

Excellent Communication: The skills to deliver polite, courteous, and efficient customer service to our students and staff. Commitment to Safeguarding Denstone College is deeply committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all our staff to share this vital commitment.
