Cook up something special with Teach Tiny!
Do you love creating delicious food and seeing people enjoy it? Are you looking for a role where your cooking can make a real difference?
Teach Tiny is looking for a fantastic Chef to join a lovely Nursery / Pre-School setting in Luton.
This is your chance to take your culinary skills into a fun, friendly and rewarding early years environment, preparing nutritious meals and snacks for little ones and helping them discover a love of good food.
And don't worry - you won't be expected to make tiny soufflés!
What's on the menu?
As the Nursery Chef, you'll be responsible for creating fresh, nutritious and delicious meals that are suitable for young children.
Your day could include:
- Preparing healthy, balanced meals and snacks
- Creating varied menus packed with nutritious ingredients
- Introducing children to new foods, flavours and textures
- Catering carefully for allergies and dietary requirements
- Keeping the kitchen clean, safe and hygienic
- Managing food stock and helping to minimise waste
- Working closely with the nursery team to support children's nutritional needs
- Making mealtimes a positive and enjoyable part of the children's day
Are you the Chef we're looking for?
We're looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in professional cooking or catering
- Qualified to at least Level 2 in Food Hygiene – essential
- Passionate about preparing fresh, nutritious food
- Knowledgeable about food hygiene and safe food preparation
- Confident catering for allergies and dietary requirements
- Organised, reliable and able to manage their own kitchen
- Friendly, patient and approachable
- Comfortable working as part of a wider nursery team
Previous experience working with children, in a nursery, school or other education setting would be preferable, but isn't essential.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their cooking and understands that good food can play a big part in happy, healthy childhoods.
Why Teach Tiny?
At Teach Tiny, we love connecting great people with fantastic early years settings.
You'll have the opportunity to bring your skills into a supportive environment, work with an enthusiastic nursery team and - most importantly - help little ones enjoy delicious and nutritious food every day.
We'd love to hear from you!
