With your peers, you will have a chance to become involved in the more strategic aspects of leading the directorate workforce, inspiring our team through employee engagement, and fostering a spirit of collaborative cross-functional working.

You will possess strong and detailed knowledge of the service sector and ability to demonstrate an understanding of the local and national marketplace as well as E management and leadership of a wide range of food service provision. You will hold recent experience as an industry professional in a similar or related role, within a complex organisation with high standards of customer service and quality.
