Job description

Overview

Chef Wanted. Oxfordshire.

You didn’t become a chef to sit around waiting for shifts. You became a chef because you love feeding people, running a kitchen, and taking pride in every plate.

At Cucumber Catering, we keep you busy. We work with care homes, hospitals, schools, and nurseries across the UK, and we need experienced chefs who can walk into any kitchen, take ownership of the menu, and deliver.

What you get

• From £14-£18 per hour, rising to £16-£20 on weekends


• Weekly pay, every Friday


• Free Enhanced DBS check


• Free uniform


• Holiday pay


• Flexible shifts that work around your life


• Refer a friend bonus


• Variety. No two weeks look the same

What we need from you

• Solid experience in a professional kitchen


• Confidence to manage a kitchen independently


• Reliability. If you say you\'ll be there, you\'re there


• A genuine pride in the food you put out

What you won\'t get

Stuck in one place doing the same thing every day. Our chefs work across different settings, different menus, different teams. One week you could be running a care home kitchen, the next catering for a school. If you like variety, you\'ll love this.

Sound like you?

Apply now and we\'ll be in touch to get you started.
