What this role is all about

• This is a hands‑on, learning‑focused role for a Junior Development Chef who loves food and wants to grow within a development environment. You’ll work closely with the Development Chef and Lead Development Chef to help bring new COOK dishes to life — supporting the journey from early concept cooking through to scaled, production‑ready batches.
• You’ll use your solid cooking skills, curiosity and attention to detail to help test, refine and document dishes. This role is perfect for someone who wants to deepen their culinary knowledge while learning more about manufacturing and how recipes translate from a small pan to a full‑scale production kitchen.
