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).

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 Benefits - £28k pro rata - 30 days holiday pro rata inclusive of bank holidays - We believe in rewarding our staff, so, on successful completion of your probation period there is an opportunity to enter into the employee EMI option scheme
