Your Background… We’re open to people with great cooking and people‑management skills.

As manager you will head up the team, making sure 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!

What’s in it for me? You might fancy working somewhere close to home, with daytime hours and your weekends & evenings free. All school holidays are off, giving you an opportunity for 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, with loads of free qualifications and career development opportunities.

We also run monthly opportunities for the best teams to win shopping vouchers.

Next steps… 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 check, which IFG will pay for.
