This is a catering job with a difference – a chance to make a difference!
Argyle Community Trust is looking to recruit an enthusiastic, innovative and motivated Catering Manager to lead our catering department. We are entering an exciting period for our catering team as we look to develop and expand our provision through existing and new opportunities; addressing food poverty through our Project 35 work; providing healthy holiday meals for children through our Fit and Fed programmes; training and employing those not currently in employment through our acquisition of a mobile catering van in conjunction with our employability programmes as well as educating about healthy food choices in our sports and health programmes. We are looking for someone who is passionate about food and can support us in meeting our charitable aims.
Supported by a small team, you will have full responsibility for the day to day running of the kitchen, whilst working to develop and grow the operation and service delivery. You must have a passion for hospitality/catering and be committed to providing delicious, high quality food and service to a diverse customer base. You will need to demonstrate effective planning skills, be capable of operating in a systematic manner, and have the proven ability to manage and lead a team.
