One day you could be preparing samples for an internal review, the next supporting a customer presentation, helping refine a concept or making sure the development kitchen is organised, clean and ready for the next project. This is a hands-on, food-first role in a team where everyone gets stuck in. Key Responsibilities Support the Development Chef and wider culinary team with new product ideas, development briefs and project timelines Prepare high-quality food samples for tastings, internal reviews, customer presentations and manufacturer reviews Help develop and refine new food concepts in line with briefs, quality standards and customer expectations Support kitchen trials, development sessions, presentation set-up and clean-down Keep the development kitchen organised, clean, safe and presentation-ready Support stock control, stock rotation, ordering, product labelling and packaging stock Work closely with NPD, culinary, technical and wider business teams Learn the full product development process from concept through to launch Support stage gate documentation and development administration where required Bring energy, curiosity and genuine enthusiasm for food innovation About You We're looking for someone with real chef experience, strong food passion and the right attitude to build a career in food development.
