Are you a chef who’s ready to explore opportunities beyond the pass and get involved in creating products on a larger scale? We’re working with a forward-thinking and expanding food company that’s looking to bring a Development Chef into their team. This role is perfect for someone with solid kitchen experience who’s interested in the journey from food idea to finished product. You don’t need a background in manufacturing — what matters most is your enthusiasm for food, creativity, and eagerness to develop new skills.

The role will involve:

  • Assisting in the creation and refinement of new food ideas
  • Producing samples for client meetings and internal tastings
  • Taking part in kitchen trials and development sessions
  • Gaining exposure to the full product development lifecycle
  • Supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the development kitchen

About you:

  • Professional experience as a chef in a fast-paced kitchen
  • A keen interest in food innovation and emerging trends
  • Well-organised, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Positive attitude with a hands-on, can-do approach
  • Strong team player with good communication skills

What’s in it for you:

  • A great opportunity to transition from hospitality into product development
  • Involvement in creating products for international markets
  • A chance to work within a business that encourages creativity and fresh ideas

If you’re curious about how food concepts are turned into products people buy every day, this could be your next move.
