Catering Manager

Our Catering Managers cook delicious and nourishing meals for people with a range of dietary requirements.
No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
managing the day-to-day running of the kitchen

preparing, cooking and serving food

understanding people's needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus

ensuring your Catering Team complies with food hygiene standards

completing relevant checks and maintaining records

controlling stock and purchases within an allocated budget

leading and managing your Catering Team members, ensuring they receive induction, training and support as required.
You'll put people at the heart of everything you do. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you'll see great rewards.
If you haven't worked in the care sector before, we'll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

Above all, you're someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.
You're also:
a cook with a flair for creating delicious and nutritious meals for varied dietary requirements

creative in menu development and food preparation

an excellent team player, able to coordinate, support and motivate a team

experienced in managing a catering budget

adaptable and flexible

someone with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
We like our Catering Managers to have, or be working towards, a Level 3 Food Hygiene qualification.
As this is a management position, we expect you'll have previous experience in a similar position and environment, ideally in leading a catering or kitchen team.
