Chef

We are looking for an experienced Chef to help run our busy onsite catering service. You will prepare and serve safe, nutritious meals, maintain high professional and food-safety standards, and help organise the day-to-day work of the kitchen. A central part of the role is supporting others. You will provide practical instruction and constructive feedback to catering trainees, coordinate volunteers and corporate groups, and create a calm, welcoming environment in which people can learn and contribute. This is an opportunity to combine professional cookery with clear social impact. You will see the difference your work makes each day, both through the meals provided and the progress of the people you support. The role also offers regular working hours of 7.30am to 2.30pm, 35 hours per week, allowing you to work in a purposeful professional kitchen while usually finishing by mid-afternoon.

We are looking for someone with experience in a professional kitchen, a relevant Level 3 qualification and strong knowledge of food hygiene, allergens, temperature control and safe working practices. You will be organised, dependable and able to meet fixed service deadlines, while remaining patient and respectful when supporting people with different levels of experience, confidence and support needs.

At Providence Row, our kitchen provides good food for people affected by homelessness while creating opportunities for trainees to develop practical skills, confidence and experience.
