At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
As our Executive Chef, you will:
1. Lead the provision and execution of the Food, Beverage and Banqueting offer for the Hospitality Services across Lydiard Park and the wider outlets.
2. Create a fresh, dynamic and flexible offer to guests and customers to maximise reputation and revenue.
3. Lead, manage and engage teams in Food Safety, menu planning, and stock control routines.
4. Recruit the catering team and support other operational leads in delivering a faultless guest journey across the Hotel, Events, and outlets in the borough.
5. Work across a 7-day week, including unsociable hours, and travel to various outlets as needed.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).
As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work-life balance.
For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, revitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
