  • Strong numeracy and literacy skills, with excellent attention to detail and accuracy

  • Exceptional leadership and team management skills, thriving in a fast-paced environment

  • Creativity and passion for food design, preparation, nutrition, and presentation

The Benefits

  • 33 days annual leave, including bank holidays and pro-rated to your contracted hours
