We’re open to people with great cooking and people management skills. You will be an experienced Chef Manager, used to cooking using fresh seasonal ingredients at volume, managing your kitchen and liaising directly with onsite clients.

This is a large site and busy food operation. We are looking for an experienced Chef Manager used to volume cooking, with experience in overseeing multiple outlets/service areas and managing a team of at least 15 catering assistants. As manager you will head up the team, ensuring service runs smoothly and that all due diligence is adhered to.

We’re not in the business of making school food; we’re here to make good food, after all, that’s why our clients and customers love us!

So maybe you fancy working somewhere close to home, with daytime hours, and with your weekends and evenings free? Not to mention all school holidays off, providing you with a great work–life balance. As an added bonus, a free meal is supplied on shift (and uniform).

We’ll give you a place to grow and a Career to be proud of. There are lots of free qualifications and career development opportunities, and we’ve got a staff discount scheme at over 850 retailers. We also run monthly opportunities for the best teams to win shopping vouchers.

If you think you’ve got what it takes and the times above suit you, we’d love to hear from you. An interview and kitchen visit will be required for this role.

IFG is committed to the safeguarding of children, and our employees share this commitment. Successful candidates are required to undergo an enhanced DBS disclosure and children’s barred list check, which IFG will pay for.

We are a committed equal opportunities employer. If you require any assistance for the interview process, please detail this within your application. All information is kept confidential and in compliance with GDPR requirements.
