Cook with FSC

We want to welcome passionate Cooks to produce high quality food for our wide range of visitors. After a busy day outdoors on a field trip or course, mealtimes are usually a big highlight at our centres! Having skilled Cooks producing seasonal, tasty meals are key to our success.

Our centres are in stunning locations with beautiful natural surroundings, which make a wonderful work environment. Each centre has a small, friendly team to join and you also have the security of working for a larger UK-wide organisation.

Food is sourced locally wherever possible. All of our residential centres have been awarded the Soil Association’s Food for Life Served Here Bronze Award which recognises organisations which go the extra mile to make sure visitors are receiving healthy, nutritious and sustainable meals.
