Looking for a chef role that gives you your evenings back?

At Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, we're looking for an experienced Chef to join our friendly hospitality team. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your culinary skills in a rewarding healthcare environment, creating nutritious, high-quality meals for patients, visitors and colleagues.

Unlike many hospitality roles, you'll benefit from structured shifts, a supportive team environment and an improved work-life balance with no late-night finishes

As Chef, you'll play a key role in delivering a first-class dining experience for our patients, staff and visitors. You'll prepare and present nutritious, high-quality meals whilst maintaining the highest standards of food safety, hygiene and customer service.

Working closely with the Head Chef and wider hospitality team, you'll help ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the kitchen and deputise when required.
