Who we are

Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids' health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.

We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead.

We’re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education,  setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.

About you and the role

The purpose of this role is to manage operational delivery of our School Chef Educator programme, ensuring efficient and effective delivery.  The School Chef Educator programme is a 10 week training programme for school kitchen staff, covering topics such as Reducing Food Waste, and Food Education. It is delivered in a blended learning format, through a mix of in-person training, bitesize webinars, and our online learning website.

You will work closely with the Director of Partnerships & Impact, our School Engagement Manager and our Research Supervisor, to identify and liaise with suitable funding partners, academies and schools, and ensure we are monitoring and evaluating our programme delivery to evidence it’s impact and ensure quality delivery across the cohorts that take part.

Your role will oversee our School Chef Educator Programmes, delivered across England. This role will be primarily focused in London, but will include supporting schools in locations across the UK as we develop new hubs. An average week in this role might see you attending meetings with new partners to secure support for new programmes, sourcing venues for training days, scheduling programme delivery dates, identifying and contacting schools in our programme delivery areas to sign up their kitchen teams to our programme, developing new content on our learning management system, attending webinars our Chef Trainers are delivering, and supporting Chef Trainers with our in-person kick off sessions, and graduation celebrations.

Why work for Results and IPNEd​

Like you, we're passionate about ending poverty. We’re a small, collaborative organisation that has a big impact. We just do advocacy - we don’t run programmes. The experience you gain with us sets you up for a career in international development. Below are a few of the benefits of joining us, in addition to the salary, pension and annual leave outlines at the top of this document.

​

Work-life balance​

• We offer flexible working so you can manage work around your own needs.

• Hybrid working means you don’t have to be trapped in a long commute every day and don’t have to be London based.

• Staff members have their birthdays off as a bonus day of leave and we close the office between Christmas and new year so you don’t need to take leave.

• We subscribe to the Bupa employee advice line – free confidential access to financial and legal advisors as well as telephone and online counselling sessions.

• In addition we run training on mental health at work and have named mental health first aiders who can be contacted in confidence if you would like help finding support.

• All staff have the opportunity to join working groups outside of their work areas according to their interests and are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities.

• Our staff wellbeing team explores how we can improve our staff wellbeing  - most recently publishing a comprehensive guide - and reviews what we have done to date.

​

Anti-oppression​

• We offer half a day’s anti-oppression learning leave each year

• As well as making reasonable adjustments, we support our staff in making applications to the Access to Work scheme to get additional equipment where needed.

• We offer disability leave for disabled colleagues to manage specific needs they may have without having to give up their holidays.

• We have a staff working group on anti-oppression which helps to develop our work on anti-oppression and identify gaps in our current work.

Partnerships​

• Results UK hosts three other organisations, including IPNEd, working on specific aspects of global health and education, so you benefit from other perspectives and get an in-depth understanding of other work going on in the sector.

​

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion​

At Results UK, we believe in equality, diversity and inclusion, and that these should be the norm. As well as this being an issue of equality and fairness, we recognise that diverse and inclusive organisations are some of the most productive and impactful.

​

As an organisation, we are aware of the under-representation of certain groups and communities in the international development sector that are often closest to the issues we work on. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, refugees, people with disabilities and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.​

We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation.
