About you...
As our Cook, you will be right at the heart of the kitchen! You will be cooking up a variety of tasty treats – from sausage rolls and pastries to potato wedges, halloumi burgers, cakes and plenty more. It is an important role that keeps everything running smoothly, making sure the team has all the ingredients they need for sandwiches and other menu favourites. You will help keep the kitchen clean, organised and buzzing, using equipment like ovens, Merrychefs, hobs and grills to serve up great food every day.

Key responsibilities...
Provide hot and cold food and drinks consistently, with a high degree of accuracy, whilst working under pressure.
Provide a role-model for the Catering Assistants and the other Cooks, demonstrating the professional standards required of a commercial catering operation, by working at a high tempo, with clear focus and a problem solving, can-do approach.
Take pride in the menu offer, contributing ideas to the continual improvement of catering services, working with the Catering Manager and Assistant Manager on the options for improved items and the more efficient delivery of the existing menu.
Work carefully, to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and best industry practice, including Food Safety regulations, HACCP procedures, allergen regulations (FIR regulations), and COSHH regulations, through monitoring process and procedures.
