Development Chef

Job Description

Are you a Head or Sous Chef looking for an alternative career opportunity? Willing to consider a new challenge outside a conventional hotel or restaurant environment? Would you like the chance to work regular hours, balance your lifestyle (most weekends and evenings free!) still working daily in chef whites developing dishes and exploring new food combinations and refine recipes? …. Sounds impossible for a Chef?

We have an opportunity for talented Chefs who are able to demonstrate through career moves that they have built an extensive repertoire and are adaptable, able to deliver for a varying client base. Are you versatile enough to transfer to food manufacturing Product Development, where you will work on focused food development projects that could reach leading retail shelves … wouldn't it be great to see products you have developed on Tesco and Sainsbury's shelves?

A role in food development is not for the faint hearted, it requires personal determination, exceptional personal presentation skills, and without question an abundance of food skills and knowledge and a real passion for exploring new ideas. You will need to be resilient, retaining a flexible approach, an open mind and not be afraid to be challenged or face criticism. We are looking for chefs who have worked at minimum in 2/3 Rosette kitchens preferably having reached at least Sous Chef level. If you are totally enthused by food, passionate about cooking, looking for your next step change in your career, and want to know more about NPD (new product development), get in touch with a comprehensive CV. This role is based in the Midlands.
