About Migrateful

Migrateful is an award-winning charity supporting refugees, asylum seekers and migrants on their journey to integration and employment.

Our cookery classes enable our chefs to share their cultures and cuisines, develop skills and confidence, and create meaningful connections with the wider community.

About the Role

We are looking for an organised, practical and proactive candidate to take day-to-day operational ownership of the Migrateful Cookery School in Farringdon and coordinate the effective operation of our network of venues across London.

A key focus will be introducing a Venue Champion model, where designated facilitators undertake agreed routine checks and practical tasks at external venues. With support from the Operations Support Officer, you will establish and coordinate this approach, while retaining overall oversight of venue standards and stepping in when additional intervention is needed.

You will also coordinate the operational onboarding of new venues and support the planned refurbishment of the Cookery School.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining venue operations, coordination, problem-solving and continuous improvement.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Cookery School Operations

Take day-to-day operational ownership of the Migrateful Cookery School.

• Ensure the space, equipment, ingredients, recipes and resources are ready for classes and ad hoc events.

• Coordinate repairs, maintenance, cleaning and facilities requirements, working with building management, contractors and cleaning providers.

• Maintain effective systems for stock, storage, equipment, consumables and procurement.

• Identify and resolve operational issues to ensure the space works effectively for chefs, facilitators, volunteers and staff.

• Coordinate the planned Cookery School refurbishment, working with contractors, suppliers and colleagues to minimise disruption and ensure the space is ready for reopening.

2. External Venue Coordination

Maintain operational oversight of Migrateful's external London venues.

• Maintain venue-specific equipment, kit and operational requirements, with planned schedules for checks, maintenance and resets.

• Monitor venue readiness, facilitator feedback and outstanding issues and coordinate appropriate action.

• Maintain effective relationships with venue contacts and undertake periodic quality assurance visits where required.

3. Venue Champion Coordination

Venue Champions undertake agreed routine practical tasks, while the Venues Coordinator retains overall oversight of venue standards and the systems supporting them.

• Coordinate a network of Venue Champions who provide routine practical support at external venues.

• With support from the Operations Support Officer, recruit and train Venue Champions from Migrateful's facilitator pool and provide clear guidance for the role.

• Establish equipment lists, checklists and schedules for venue checks, kit cleaning and resets.

• Monitor completion of agreed tasks and coordinate follow-up, maintenance or equipment replacement where required.

4. New Venue Onboarding

• Coordinate the operational setup of new London venues when required.

• Assess new venues and establish equipment, storage, logistics, food safety and operational requirements.

• Coordinate procurement, setup, documentation and facilitator onboarding, resolving issues during initial classes.

• Identify and train a Venue Champion and transition established venues into the ongoing venue-management system.

5. Health, Safety & Quality

• Maintain high operational, food safety and Health & Safety standards across Migrateful's London venues.

• Maintain appropriate Health & Safety, food safety and allergen systems, documentation and checks.

• Ensure facilitators and Venue Champions understand the procedures relevant to their roles.

• Coordinate equipment safety and compliance requirements and identify, track and escalate risks appropriately.

6. Systems, Procurement & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain effective systems for equipment, stock, ingredient ordering, procurement and venue documentation.

• Manage relevant supplier relationships and monitor expenditure within agreed budgets.

• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardise or digitise processes and reduce unnecessary manual work.

• Maintain clear records so operational information is accessible, consistent and shared across the team.

Scope and Boundaries

The Venues Coordinator is responsible for the systems, standards and coordination that support effective venue management. They are not expected to personally undertake every routine task at every external venue.

Venue Champions provide local practical support and routine monitoring, with the Venues Coordinator responding to escalated issues and undertaking periodic quality assurance checks.

Reasonable changes may be made to the responsibilities of the role as Migrateful develops, following consultation with the postholder.

Working Hours & Out-of-Hours Support

Migrateful delivers cookery classes during evenings and weekends, so some operational issues may arise outside normal office hours.

The postholder will participate in a shared Operations Team out-of-hours rota. When rostered, they will provide first-line support for urgent operational issues affecting class delivery, escalating where appropriate.

The rota will be scheduled in advance. Expectations around availability, response times, escalation and working time/TOIL will be set out in Migrateful's Out-of-Hours Support procedure.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience in kitchen, hospitality, venue, facilities or operational coordination, with a good understanding of Food Safety, Health & Safety and allergen management.

• Is highly organised and able to coordinate multiple venues, priorities and people while ensuring spaces are safe, well equipped and ready for classes.

• Takes a practical, proactive and solution-focused approach, with high standards of cleanliness and attention to detail.

• Communicates confidently and builds effective relationships with a diverse range of people, including facilitators, suppliers and venue partners.

• Can develop and maintain clear operational systems, identify issues early and make practical improvements to how things are managed.

• Is comfortable working independently, using initiative and coordinating others, including Venue Champions.

• Is flexible about travelling between London venues, undertaking hands-on practical tasks and participating in the shared out-of-hours rota.

• Ideally has experience in a charity, social enterprise or community food setting, or working with volunteers and freelancers.
