Job description

Pabulum Catering are now recruiting for a Chef Manager to help us deliver exceptional food experiences to our children at Burpham Primary School.

As a Chef Manager, you will be working in a passionate and hard-working team to create an outstanding experience for our school.

In return, we offer an excellent work-life balance, support, and a fantastic company culture for a business committed to providing healthy food to children. At Pabulum, you're important; without our employees, we wouldn't be where we are today with such a strong, innovative, and constantly growing business.

With over 120 sites across Southern England, there's plenty of opportunity for you to grow, learn, and develop.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  1. Preparing our delicious food
  2. Managing the main aspects of the kitchen including Health & Safety and Training & Development, and keeping the Unit Bookwork up to date
  3. Receiving and managing food deliveries and storage
  4. Developing great working relationships with clients, team, and customers to ensure the catering contract is always growing in the right direction.

Our ideal Chef Manager will be:

  1. Passionate about food and great customer service
  2. A fantastic communicator who works well as part of a team, with excellent supervisory skills to manage, develop, and motivate a large team
  3. Financially astute, with full training provided in our processes and software systems
  4. Having a craft background with qualifications/experience to match

Role details and benefits include:

  1. £28,000 per annum
  2. Monday to Friday
  3. Excellent work/life balance due to term time only contract
  4. Holiday pay
  5. NEST pension scheme
  6. Comprehensive Employee Assist Programme
  7. Consistent training and development
  8. Unlock - discount membership

At Pabulum, there are three basic ingredients for your role:

  1. The food - We take our values seriously, putting Education, Passion, Sensation, and Innovation at the forefront. 94% of our food is freshly prepared on site daily, using 75% British produce and little or no frozen or processed foods.
  2. The people - Happy customers always come back for more, so we expect you to ensure they have an excellent customer experience.
  3. And you - We are recruiting for a Catering Assistant to join our positive and professional team.

As you will be working in Education, you must provide two employment/character references, and we'll also carry out an Enhanced DBS / Criminal Record Check (which we'll pay for).

Interested in becoming part of the Pabulum family?
