Cook/ Cogydd

Job Description

Do you have a passion for food? The National Trust is renowned for its food and hospitality. We run 185 cafes all over England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and we'd love you to be a part of it.

We're looking for a Cook to join us. Because we are in a rural area, please think about how you'd be able to get here for work, before applying for the job.

Benefits: We want to help you look after the things that matter to you, such as saving for your future, getting a discount on your weekly shop, or encouraging you to find a work-life balance. Please read our package, below, to see what benefits we offer you.

Hours: 1950 hours a year. This role is based on annualised hours, where the amount of hours you work each month may vary; however, your salary will be paid in 12 equal instalments over the year. 5 days a week, Thursday - Monday. Includes weekends and bank holidays.

Salary: £11.64 an hour

Duration: Permanent

Interview date: Monday 24th February

For this role, you'll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.

You'll help with deliveries and with keeping the kitchen clean, to be compliant with health and safety legislation and to make sure that service runs smoothly.

We'll give you an induction that fits the job, and training in allergens and food safety, plus any mentoring needed to help you in your role. You can sign up for further professional training and development if you wish.
