We work hard because we think pizza makes people happier. As a Head Chef, you’ll be a specialist in creating the best Neapolitan Pizza’s, and for every guest to leave with a full belly, and already planning their next visit. You’ll also be accountable for:
- Team Management & engagement.
- Recruitment, training, and succession planning.
- Heath & safety compliance.
- Stock management.
- Successful guest pizza launches.
- Kitchen maintenance management.
- Food quality auditing.
- Reporting.
Whilst skills are important, representing our values is just as important too. These shape our team culture.
- ‘Push Yourself’ because we believe learning new skills and coming out of your comfort zone will help us improve as a team.
- ‘Be Yourself’ means you can bring your own personality to work. Your hair colour is yours, not ours. We think tattoos are cool. And we love hearing about your interests outside of work.
- ‘Respect Others’ because everyone is welcome at Pilgrims and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where people feel they belong.
- ‘Enjoy Yourself’ because hospitality is an industry we love, and we want every Pilgrim to create happiness for each other and to have fun at work.
Don’t take our word for it. In our most recent ‘happiness survey’ (team feedback survey)…
- Over 200 people said the thing they love most about working at Pilgrims is their team.
- Over 100 people said their favourite pizza perk was the amount of free pizza they get.
- And nearly 150 people said they love the culture, development opportunities and pizza quality at Pilgrims.
What's in it for you?
- up to £45.500 salary + tronc + bonus.
- 45hr week over 5 days.
- Serious career development - We are opening 4 pizzerias this year & next.
- On top of the standard 28 days holiday, you will get an extra day for every year you work for us (up to 5 Years).
