Job description

Welcome to IFG, we are one of the fastest growing education catering companies in the country and were recently awarded Education Caterer of the year at the Foodservice Catey Awards.

We’re not going to bore you with a long list of empty adjectives, we want one simple thing: awesome people to help us feed more children better food.

The role…

Job Title: Executive Chef Manager

School Location: New site near Luton, LU1

Working Days: Monday to Friday

Shifts & Working hours: 7am-4.30pm (45 hours per week)

Working Weeks: 42 weeks per year (term time, inset days and 3 additional weeks)

Pay Details: £35,000 per year

Benefits: Bonus potential of up to 10% of salary (Company's Discretion), free meals on shift, uniform, pension, and other great company benefits.

Your Background…

We’re open to people with great cooking and people management skills. You will be an experienced Chef Manager, used to cooking with fresh seasonal ingredients at volume, managing your kitchen, and liaising directly with onsite clients.

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?

So maybe you fancy working somewhere close to home, with daytime hours, and with your weekends and evenings free?

Not to mention all school holidays off, giving you the opportunity for some 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.

There are loads of free qualifications and career development opportunities to be had, and we’ve got a staff discount scheme at over 850 retailers!

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.
