Job description

Chef – The Granary at Caring For Life

Share great food. Serve with purpose. Be part of a Christian mission that changes lives.

At Caring For Life, everything we do flows from our Christian mission of servanthood, seeking to bring glory to God through the way we care for people. In our social enterprise restaurant, The Granary, that mission is lived out daily through excellent food, genuine hospitality, and a warm welcome that reflects the love of Jesus in a practical way.

We are looking for a Chef who is passionate about food, people, and purpose. Whether you are starting out in your catering career, building experience, or already working at Sous Chef or Deputy Head Chef level, this is an opportunity to grow your skills in a supportive environment where excellence and service go hand in hand.

  • Provide a welcoming and friendly service to all customers, including elderly and vulnerable visitors, creating space for conversation and care
  • Take part in team prayer times and contribute to the spiritual life of Caring For Life as appropriate
  • Where appropriate, share personal testimony of Christian faith in a natural and respectful way with customers, volunteers, or the wider community
  • Occasionally assist in representing Caring For Life at church or supporter events
