Chef - Preston
Full Time Permanent Contract
You've just discovered a Chef position like no other ...
PGL is a world where children achieve the 'impossible'.
Our residential adventure camps create extraordinary breakthroughs through active and life-affirming experiences in the great outdoors.
But that's not all... we're part of something bigger. We're powered by PGL Beyond, a group of inspiring companies with a common purpose to deliver enriching and transformative experiences to the next generation. Will you join us?
Make a difference as a Chef
Having fun is hungry work! Our catering team is proud to serve tasty & nutritious meals, combining reassuring favourites and new cuisines, to keep the adventure going.
As a Chef at PGL you'll be part of a friendly & supportive catering team, reporting into the Head Chef. You'll provide first class nutritious meals for our many hungry guests without the pressure of menu creation or sourcing ingredients from scratch. You'll be responsible for food preparation, cooking, stock ordering & organisation, cost control & coaching of junior team members. You will work limited late nights, with a Friday or Saturday evening off most weeks (especially outside of our peak season) and no working over Christmas - this could be the perfect role to develop your career in catering without sacrificing your social life or that all important family time!
Are you a PGL person?
An experienced caterer, ideally gained in a high-volume environment.
Excellent knowledge of food hygiene & handling allergen and dietary requirements
Strong organisational skills, managing your own time and workload effectively - working well under pressure.
Ideally you will hold a Level 3 Award in Supervising Food Safety in Catering.
Above all, it's our core values of FUN, SAFETY, QUALITY, INCLUSIVITY, TEAMWORK and RESPECT that unite us. A place to thrive
No matter your background, ethnicity, sexuality/gender identity, SEND, neurodivergence or anything else... PGL is a place to be yourself, have fun, use your valuable skills for good and celebrate what makes you brilliantly unique.
Fair pay and benefits for all
A career with ongoing growth, aided development, mentoring, multiple pathways and opportunities to work across different UK or French locations.
24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub alongside our Employee Assistance Program
Sector leading family friendly policies and a contributory pension
Access to our financial wellbeing platform where you can borrow or save directly from your salary.
Free/discounted PGL breaks for your family & discounts at 800+ retailers.

Simply email or call us with detail around the adjustments you need.
However, our top priority is the safety of the guests on our centres. Therefore, all employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal records check (known as DBS or PVG), which we pay for. You will need to provide a 5-year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case individually. #ChefDec
