  • Partner closely with Site Managers, Clients, and Central Support Teams to enhance standards, drive innovation, and deliver commercial success
  • Monitor and manage key operational metrics including food costs, labour, waste, and GP to ensure commercial efficiency
  • Ensure full compliance with food safety, health & safety, and company policies across all locations
  • Champion culinary excellence and continuous improvement, introducing new ideas and initiatives that elevate our food offer

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in a Chef Manager or Head Role role with multi-site responsibility
  • A strong culinary background with a passion for exceptional service
  • Inspirational leadership skills. You develop teams, build engagement and lead by example
  • Excellent client relationship management and communication skills
  • Strong understanding of food safety, compliance and kitchen operations
  • Strong financial and operational understanding, confident with budgets, cost control, and performance reporting
  • A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel regularly across the region
What we offer:
