People are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re looking for a talented Regional Chef Manager with strong craft skills and a passion for leading and developing teams to join the team at Accent Catering.
About the Role
This is an opportunity to make a real impact through food. We play an important role in students’ learning and wellbeing by providing nutritious, delicious meals that encourage healthier lifestyles and positive food experiences every day.
As Regional Chef Manager, you’ll lead the kitchen operation, creating an outstanding food offer while overseeing menu planning, food quality, compliance, stock control, and team performance.
