Assistant Chef

The Coin Street Nursery has a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic team player, who wants to gain experience in a non-domestic kitchen supporting our in-house nursery chef. Your role will be to support the chef running the nursery kitchen, providing food for the children and childcare staff in our 59-place nursery. Ideally you will be familiar with working in a similar setting, though this is not essential.

We are looking for someone who has passion for ensuring young children eat healthy and balanced meals, takes initiative and is eager to learn. We’ll provide training - Food Hygiene or Food Safety - if you haven’t already done these. You’ll be working with an experienced chef, assisting with food preparation and inventory, plus cleaning, hygiene and health & safety.
