Full-time, Permanent Dulwich, London As soon as possible Alleyn's School is seeking an exceptional Head of Food Experience and Operations because this isn't a typical school catering role.

What we're looking for: Proven experience leading a large-scale catering or hospitality operation, you understand how to feed a lot of people, brilliantly, day after day. You don't need to be a chef, but you do need to understand kitchens, menus, and what makes a food offer truly great. Strong people leadership and operational confidence.
