About COOK

COOK is a pioneering frozen food company. Since 1997, we’ve been making remarkable food for your freezer, prepared by hand at our Kitchens in Kent (savoury) and Somerset (puddings) using the same ingredients and techniques you would at home. It means our food looks and tastes homemade, maybe even a bit better.

We’re market leaders and (more importantly) our food tastes incredible. We have over 90 shops and a rapidly growing online business.

We’re independent (family-owned) and always will be because it allows us to do things the right way, not the fast way. We believe in business as a force for good in society and have certified as one of the UK’s first B Corporations to help us measure what matters when it comes to our impact on our environment, our people, and our community.

We share 5% of our annual profits with staff.

The Role

1. Communications is key; you need to continually communicate to each department to ensure that you and your team are fully aware of what batches are coming in and out of your department and when.
2. By rotating batches in your fridge, you will monitor chill times to ensure the safety of our food. You will have a full understanding of products in your department and therefore what batches you are responsible for.
3. Follow recipes closely and do a final check to ensure the next department has all elements of the dish. Consistency is a must and therefore you must have a full understanding of our specifications.
4. Complete all relevant paperwork and input information on our in-house database (Unity), correctly and fully understand the significance of inaccurate information being recorded.
5. Be a role model for others by making sure we are working in a safe environment by following the relevant health and safety and food safety procedures.
6. Take responsibility for portion control and wastage and ensure the team is also taking responsibility.

Good to Have

Being able to work in a small team; communication is KEY. Some experience of working in a kitchen environment would be great.

Other Bits

Excellent benefits including paid breaks, free food, CookieJar Smart Spending discounts on leading brands, profit share, 30% staff discount, and birthdays off, and much more.
