Chef - Create Great Experiences Through Great Food

At Blue Arrow, we're proud to partner with organisations that help people grow, thrive and experience the extraordinary. This Chef opportunity is your chance to use your culinary talent to support memorable adventures while enjoying real work-life balance.

Make a Difference as a Chef

Cooking fuels everything - and you'll play a key role in keeping guests energised and ready for their day.

As a Chef, you'll join a welcoming and supportive kitchen team, working under an experienced Head Chef. You'll prepare nutritious, crowd‑pleasing meals without the pressure of menu creation or sourcing ingredients. Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and cooking high‑quality meals
• Managing stock levels and supporting cost control
• Maintaining excellent food safety and allergen standards
• Coaching and supporting junior team members

This role offers a great balance of hours, with limited late nights, frequent Friday or Saturday evenings off (particularly outside peak season), and minimal Christmas working - ideal for developing your career without sacrificing personal time.

We're Looking for Someone Who…

• Thrives in a busy kitchen and enjoys being part of a fun, friendly team
• Has experience in catering, ideally in a high‑volume environment
• Shows strong understanding of food hygiene, allergens and dietary needs
• Works well under pressure with excellent organisation and time‑management skills
• Ideally holds a Level 3 Award in Supervising Food Safety in Catering

Above all, you'll share the values we believe make great teams: fun, safety, quality, inclusivity, teamwork and respect.

A Place Where You Can Thrive

No matter your background, lived experience or identity, this is an environment where you can be yourself, contribute your strengths and be valued for what makes you unique.

What's in It for You

• 20 days holiday + 8 bank holidays, plus your birthday off
• Paid volunteering days
• Option to purchase additional annual leave
