Cooking Project Leader - FoodCycle Milton Keynes Fishermead

Save to Favorites

As a volunteer Cooking Project Leader you’ll induct volunteers into the kitchen, facilitate the team, create recipe ideas, and lead on the preparation and cooking of the meal. You’ll be protecting the environment through the use of surplus ingredients donated by local businesses, and you’ll help to build a resilient and empowered community through the sharing of delicious food and conversation.

Responsibilities include:

• Running cooking sessions, leading a team of volunteers to create a three-course meal in a limited timeframe.
• Encouraging the whole team to have input into planning a tasty, healthy, and nutritionally balanced menu using surplus food ingredients.
• Inducting new volunteers into the kitchen.
• Working with your Project Leader team to ensure that all elements of the Project run smoothly, including maintaining a tidy and well stocked store cupboard.
• Ensuring that all volunteers follow the food safety procedures set out in our kitchen handbook.
• Completing the weekly checklist in the kitchen handbook, and the weekly session report via our website.

You don’t need to have any previous cooking experience - you just need to love food and motivating people!
