Chef Manager
Salary: £ 33,500 to £35,000 per annum
Location: Oxford
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time

Details

Modern Art Oxford is undergoing a £1.2m programme of redesign and refurbishment of the ground/lower-ground floor this Summer and as part of this programme, there will be a new artist-designed destination café at the lower-ground level.

We are looking for a passionate, creative individual to create a menu that will reflect the design and continue to be accessible to our visitors.

Our café is an important part of the gallery, and our Chef Manager is responsible for providing a welcoming, friendly environment, serving a high-quality menu with excellent customer service. This is an operational and hands on role where the large majority of time is spent planning and preparing the café food and drinks and interacting with the general public.

The Chef Manager is also responsible for the supervision and the rota management of our café staff and will collaborate closely with our Commercial Manager to maximise profits and further develop the Café in line with the Gallery’s aims and objectives.

The Modern Art café is currently open Tuesday to Sunday 10am-4pm and we work as a team to produce a clear menu offering paninis, soups, and seasonal specials as well as a wide range of cakes and pastries. Devising dishes to limit wastage and working to strict budgets is a very important part of our menu planning.

* Cycle and Home & Tech schemes available via BHN extras.

* An auto-enrolment pension scheme is in place with Legal & General. Under pension auto enrolment legislation, the employee will pay 5% (before tax relief) and the employer will pay 3% of qualifying earnings to the Legal and General plan.
