We are recruiting for a Pizza Chef to join the team at a franchise in Wellingborough. It is a fast-growing, fresh-ingredient QSR pizza concept, known for its Neapolitan-style, stone-baked pizzas. The site is busy, with a focus on delivery but also offering 15 covers in-store.
Key Details:
* Location: Wellingborough, with potential training in Milton Keynes
* Hourly Rate: £12 per hour, with the potential to rise to £13.60 after training
* Working Hours: 45-hour contract, with operating hours from 11 AM - 11 PM
* Team: 6 members, for hand-stretching fresh dough
* Sales Volume: Around 200 pizzas per day on busy days (Friday-Sunday), generating around £7k weekly from pizza, pasta, desserts, and sides
About the Role: We are looking for a good Pizza Chef who can manage high volumes in a fast-paced, high-demand environment. The ideal candidate should have experience in:
* Hand-stretching fresh dough to order
* Working with fresh ingredients in a fast-paced setting
* Operating stone-baked, gas ovens heated to 250°C
The role will require speed and precision, particularly during peak times (Friday-Sunday), as well as flexibility to cover team shortages, especially during holidays. Training and mentoring may be provided, including potential trips to Milton Keynes.
What We Offer:
* A stable role in a growing company (160 stores nationwide)
* Strong training and support, including branded recipes and methods
* Good transport links from St Pancras, Northampton, Milton Keynes, and Banbury
* Casual interview and trial process (no need for chef whites)
