Chef & Cook

5 hours ago105 views

We’re looking for a full-time Café Chef to join the small kitchen team at Store Street Espresso.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys making good, simple café food to a high standard and wants predominantly daytime, Monday-to-Friday hours.
Our kitchen produces our sandwiches, fresh salads, cakes and other café food in-house. You’ll be working as part of a small team of three, usually alongside one other person, although there will occasionally be times when you need to work independently.


Typical shifts are 6:30am–2:30pm, around 37–40 hours per week.
The role is predominantly Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturdays shared and agreed between the kitchen team. Sundays are always off.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing sandwiches, salads and other café food
Baking cakes
Daily food preparation and service
Placing supplier orders
Managing stock levels and carrying out stock takes
Monitoring food waste
Maintaining HACCP and food-safety records
Temperature and allergen records
Keeping the kitchen clean, organised and ready for service
Washing up and cleaning as part of the working day — we don't have a separate KP
Contributing ideas for new dishes and improvements to the menu
We’re interested in someone who has ideas and cares about food. There is room to suggest and trial new things, but anything we introduce needs to fit the quality and style of food we already serve and will be developed together with the wider team.


You don't need to come from a fine-dining background, but you do need experience working in a professional kitchen and to be a confident, competent cook.
More importantly, we're looking for someone who is:
Reliable
Organised
Calm when things get busy
Clean and conscientious
Comfortable taking responsibility for their own workload
A good team player
Because we're such a small kitchen, teamwork really matters. Everyone needs to be willing to help each other and take responsibility for keeping the whole kitchen running well.

£14.80–£15.00 per hour
37–40 hours per week
Predominantly Monday–Friday daytime work
6:30 am–2:30 pm shifts
