Chef Manager – 4 Day Week. Every Weekend Off

A Chef Manager role that genuinely delivers balance: 4 daytime shifts (07:00–15:00), every Friday–Sunday off, and a salary of £30,156 per annum (£18 per hour). Based on a high-security contract catering site, you’ll cook fresh food for up to 200 people per day, working with one other chef and running the kitchen with full support from an Area Manager — ideal for a Chef Manager or Head Chef wanting leadership without late nights.

Imagine having every weekend as a long weekend.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday off — every single week.

We’re recruiting a Chef Manager for a contract catering site offering something genuinely rare in hospitality: 4 daytime shifts (07:00–15:00), fresh food, and real balance — £30,156 per annum (£18 per hour).

This Chef Manager role is based on a high‑security site, cooking fresh food from scratch for up to 200 workers per day, working alongside one other chef. It’s a great move for a Head Chef who wants leadership responsibility without late nights and burnout hours.

Why this stands out:

• 4 days per week – every weekend off
• Daytime hours only (07:00–15:00)
• Fresh food cooked on site
• Full training and support from an Area Manager
• Stable, well-structured contract catering environment

As Chef Manager, you’ll run the kitchen day to day, lead a small team, and deliver consistent, high-quality food in a calm, professional setting. A clean driving licence is required. This also suits an experienced Head Chef ready for a better work–life balance.
