Job Title: Production Chef/Team Leader Hybrid Role
Contract: Full time, permanent
Hours:
40 hours / week
Mon - Thu: 12pm - 8pm
Fri: 10am - 6pm

On acceptance of the position, the successful candidate will be required to work 10am - 6pm each day for the first month in order to complete training alongside our senior chef.
Location: Sydenham, London
Description
We are seeking a full time, experienced chef/team leader to join our friendly team at our busy kitchen in Sydenham, London.

The Family Food Co is on a mission to support parents by providing delicious, convenient and nutritionally balanced frozen meals and our amazing chefs are the heart of our business. You will be cooking all our meals from scratch for our brand, Pots for Tots, using the best ingredients in a friendly and supportive environment - this isn’t your regular kitchen role! Supported by our Senior Production Chef and reporting to our Head of Product, you will be responsible for ensuring every one of our frozen ready meals is cooked to perfection and that our kitchen operates smoothly - attention to detail and a love of food is of course a must!
This is a hybrid role - part of your time will be spent cooking our range of meals/snacks or doing food prep for the Senior Chef, and part of your time will be spent leading our team of Kitchen Assistants in the general running of the kitchen (portioning/packing food, cleaning, completing paperwork, accepting deliveries, closing checks). Therefore confidence with both basic cooking skills and team leadership is essential.
Requirements
  • Minimum 3 years in a professional food environment, ideally to include a minimum of 1 year in a food production environment (restaurant/catering experience is useful, but demonstrable experience in a production environment is desired)
  • Level 2 food hygiene certificate, a demonstrable knowledge of proper food hygiene practices and a full understanding of EHO requirements (a bonus if you also have knowledge of SALSA accreditation!)
  • Fast and flexible worker - it gets busy in our kitchen; we need you to be able to work quickly and efficiently while maintaining our super high quality standards and facing challenges with enthusiasm
  • Ability to follow recipes exactly - our meals are carefully designed to meet our nutritional and cost requirements, therefore you will need to produce to an exact specification ensuring all weights/measures and cook times are adhered to (there’s no room for creative flare during the cooking of our meals, as consistency is crucial - however, we regularly develop new meals and this is where you can bring your ideas and get creative!)
  • Confident working independently and leading a team of Kitchen Assistants - our KAs are invaluable, helping with everything from portioning meals, basic food prep and keeping the kitchen clean to loading/unloading deliveries and organising our storage space. Our Senior Chef works from 6am - 2pm, so once settled into the role and all training is completed, you will be responsible for overseeing the second half of the day and coordinating the KAs (support from the Head of Product is always on hand!)
  • Confident using a computer to input basic data into our systems / locate and print files etc
  • High level of spoken and written English
