Job Description

The Role

As Head Chef, you will have full responsibility for the hospitality, fine dining and retail workplace restaurant, leading a brigade of chefs in a fast-paced environment.

Food safety is fundamental to this role. You will be accountable for:

Maintaining exceptional food safety, hygiene, and allergen controls
Ensuring full compliance with HACCP, EHO, and Genuine Dining standards
Leading a strong food safety culture through training, coaching, and attention to detail
Delivering consistent quality and safe systems across all retail services
Creativity & Menu Innovation

Alongside operational excellence, creativity is key. You will:

Design and deliver modern, exciting menus that encourage engagement and repeat visits
Champion seasonal produce and premium ingredients
Balance innovation with volume, pace, and commercial awareness
Drive sustainable practices, reducing food waste and carbon impact
