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.

We’ll give you a place to grow and a career to be proud of. Our chefs love building rapport with students and helping them explore different cuisines. With us, you’ll be building the foundations of a positive attitude to food for life.

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!).

If you think you’ve got what it takes, we’d love to hear from you!
