The Deer Shed is looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and supportive Chef to join our team at The Deer Shed Café in the beautiful surroundings of Alfreton Park.
This is much more than a traditional Chef role. Alongside preparing and delivering high-quality homemade food for the café, external catering and wholesale orders, you will play an important part in supporting young people aged 19-25 with additional needs to develop practical catering skills, confidence, independence and skills for employment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Deer Shed is a charity founded by Alfreton Park School to help provide a vital bridge between education and employment for young people with additional needs. Through real-world work experience and practical training, we help young people discover their potential, grow in confidence, develop skills for life and move towards meaningful paid employment.
