Job Description

Assistant Chef Manager
£14.50 per hour | Monday–Friday | No Evenings or Weekends

Looking for a chef role with real work-life balance?

We’re recruiting for an experienced and hands-on Assistant Chef Manager to join a friendly, well-established catering operation serving around 150 covers daily across breakfast and lunch.

This is the perfect opportunity for a Sous Chef, Senior Chef, or Kitchen Supervisor who wants stable weekday hours, leadership responsibility, and the chance to be part of a small, supportive team — without late nights or weekend shifts.

What’s on Offer?

  * £14.50 per hour

  * 37.5 hours per week

  * Monday to Friday only

  * No evenings or weekends

  * Permanent role – immediate start available

  * Free on-site parking

  * Small, friendly kitchen team

  * Excellent work-life balance

The Role

Working closely with the Chef Manager, you’ll help oversee the smooth day-to-day running of the kitchen and confidently step up to lead the operation in their absence.

The kitchen delivers a structured breakfast and lunch service using standard recipes and systems, with occasional hospitality and small functions.

This is a genuinely hands-on role — ideal for someone who enjoys being part of the team and is happy to support all areas of kitchen operations.

Key Responsibilities

  * Support and cover for the Chef Manager

  * Prepare and oversee breakfast and lunch service

  * Open and close the kitchen

  * Maintain food safety and hygiene standards

  * Complete temperature checks and kitchen records

  * Assist with ordering and stock control

  * Manage deliveries and stock rotation

  * Support cleaning, washing up, and general kitchen duties

  * Help maintain a clean, organised kitchen environment

What We’re Looking For

  * Experience as a Sous Chef, Senior Chef, or Kitchen Supervisor

  * Strong food safety and kitchen organisation skills

  * Reliable, practical, and team-focused approach

  * Someone happy to lead from the front and support wherever needed

  * Confident running the kitchen when required

  * Passion for quality food and consistent service

Due to limited and costly public transport, driving is strongly recommended.

Additional Information

  * Security background checks will be required

  * 30-minute unpaid lunch break daily
