Approved Premises support people released from prison, providing enhanced supervision and supporting their rehabilitation in the community. Your work will help create a welcoming environment, with regular, well-prepared meals forming an important part of daily life.

- Organise your workload to ensure meals are ready and served on time.
- Keep the kitchen, equipment and dining areas clean, safe and hygienic.
- Monitor stock levels and replenish ingredients and essential kitchen supplies.
- Follow food safety, health and safety, and lone-working procedures.
- Communicate with site staff about meal arrangements and day-to-day requirements.
What you’ll bring
- Previous experience in a cooking or catering role, with a sound understanding of food safety and kitchen procedures.
- Confidence running day-to-day kitchen tasks independently.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your time effectively.
- A respectful, professional approach when working with residents and staff.
- Clear communication skills, reliability and pride in delivering a good service.
What we offer
At Sodexo, you’ll belong to a team where your contribution matters, with benefits to support you at work and beyond:
- Wellbeing support: Employee Assistance Programme, online wellbeing resources and access to a 24/7 virtual GP.
- Financial benefits: Discounts for you and your family, salary finance support, a retirement plan and death-in-service benefit.
