Job description

We are looking for a senior team member to work alongside our Head Chef. We want someone who is highly productive, reliable and pro‑active. A good command of English is a must as there will be allergy diets to prepare for.

Monday to Friday work, with early starts (6am) and always straight shifts. Early afternoon finish (2pm), which makes for easy commuting.

Four weeks paid holiday and bank holidays off.

Good team atmosphere.

Well organized kitchen with a predictable work flow.

37.5 hours per week, with the option to have longer hours as normal if wanted.

We are able to train you on how to perform disciplinary hearings and deal with staff issues should you so desire. This is an option and if you prefer not to be involved that is fine.

Care Catering provides food for childrens day nurseries. We are located just outside of Guildford on the Slyfield Industrial Estate. The food (as it is for the under fives) is fairly simple however it does require a lot of attention to detail and high standards of food production.

We are open all year round (excluding Christmas week) and have long standing members of staff because we value the people who work for us. This is a senior role involving the production of specialist diet items as well as the regular food such as lunches, puddings and tea items.

We will be asking candidates to work a one day trail shift (paid) so we can assess you and you can see if it is a job you might enjoy.
