We are looking for a Head Chef to support the Executive Head Chef in leading our day-to-day kitchen operation. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can deliver consistently high standards across different styles of service, respond confidently to changing operational demands and keep quality, pace and customer experience at the centre of every service.

You will lead food preparation and service across our hospitality offer, maintaining agreed recipes, presentation and portion standards while contributing to seasonal menus, promotional dishes and special events. Working closely with front-of-house teams and colleagues across Lowry, you will help ensure menus are practical to deliver, commercially sound and relevant to our audiences.

An important part of the role is developing a skilled, motivated and professional kitchen team. You will coach colleagues, support recruitment and induction, contribute to effective rotas and promote a positive culture built on clear standards, accountability and teamwork. You will also maintain strong controls around food safety, allergens, stock, waste and food cost, and deputise for the Executive Head Chef when required.

If you are an experienced kitchen leader with strong operational judgement, sound commercial awareness and the ability to bring out the best in a team, this role offers the opportunity to shape food delivery across one of Greater Manchester's leading cultural venues.
