Are You Ready to Turn Up the Heat?

At Chesteronin Newcastle-under-Lyme, we’re not just cooking meals—we’re crafting experiences. As our new Casual Chef, you’ll support our Chef Manager in delivering delicious, nutritious, and visually stunning dishes to our 61 residents as needed, covering sickness and holidays throughout the year.

This isn’t your average kitchen role—it’s your chance to innovate, inspire, and make a real impact.

What’s On the Table?

Creativity Unleashed: Have input in designing menus, experiment with fresh seasonal produce, and cater to unique dietary needs with flair.

Step up to the Plate: In the absence of the Chef Manager, keep operations running smoothly, just like your signature sauces.

Work-Life Balance: 10-hour shifts with a tea-time finish.

Why Choose Us?

Sociable hours that work for you

Perks that matter: Big-brand discounts, a £250 refer-a-friend scheme, and Blue Light Card savings.

A chance to shine: Compete in our annual Chef of the Year competition and elevate your skills.
