THE ROLE

We are looking for a passionate, inspiring Chef to lead all aspects of our new Clubhouse’s food offering, at our new Clubhouse Café at Gunnersbury Park. The café is part of the new Community Sports hub at the site and will also double as a social and community space linking into community projects for all ages. Projects will include mental and physical health with the space acting as a central meeting/training hub. In this capacity you will work closely with the General Manager, The Clubhouse team members and colleagues from the Trust.
We are partnering with the homeless charity Change Please to create a west London training hub. Our founder partners in the project are The University of West London (UWL) and the Premier League and Professional Footballers Association Fund. We are linking with the University to offer a range of immersive opportunities for their catering and business students and our Café Manager will link with them on a number of working projects.
The other aspect is the promotion and training in the importance of food, health and performance and the Chef will lead in the creation of innovative and healthy food for a diverse range of customers.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who has appropriate experience to lead the food side of the operation, assisting our General Manager. They will be involved in the initial set-up of the facility (Due to open in August 2025) and the establishment of appropriate operational and food/health and safety procedures.
This is a unique role as the usual aspects of a hospitality business will need to be balanced with the social and community programme. This makes for an enriching role dealing with a range of people and organisations.
The Trust is a progressive, driven organisation with many facets. The Clubhouse will become one of our key hubs, also working with our stadium hub. This is a unique opportunity to combine sport and physical activity with nutrition and social projects. If you are up for the challenge of becoming part of our growing team we would like to hear from you.
