Head Chef - Mon to Fri
Pay: £55,000 to £60,000 per annum plus paid overtime
Job Description: Retail, Hospitality & Fine Dining
Area: City of London
Are you an inspiring Head Chef ready to lead a flagship modern workplace dining operation in the heart of London? Genuine Dining is looking for a confident, people-focused culinary leader who is uncompromising on food safety standards and passionate about delivering creative, exciting food at scale.
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.
You will also support the on-site hospitality team when required, offering culinary input, menu collaboration, and operational support—without direct line management responsibility.
This is a standout opportunity to shape the food culture of a premium contract, delivering menus that are seasonal, sustainable, nutritionally balanced, and designed to excite today’s workplace diner.
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

- Maintaining exceptional food safety, hygiene, and allergen controls

- Leading a strong food safety culture through training, coaching, and attention to detail
- Delivering consistent quality and safe systems across all retail services

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
