MsMissMrs is recruiting for a dynamic and enthusiastic Community Cook & Workshop Facilitator who shares our passion for the importance of nutritious, affordable food and the economic empowerment of women and their families in Glasgow.
This is an exciting opportunity to play an important role at MsMissMrs, leading the delivery of Batch Cook and Save workshops at our femfoods community kitchen in the heart of North Glasgow, helping us to continue our mission to empower women across Glasgow!
We are looking for a passionate and purpose-driven female who has experience of working in a fast-paced kitchen environment, and training and teaching others to cook. Ideally you will have facilitated cooking workshops in the community, working with all levels of cooking ability. You will have a good knowledge of nutrition, food groups and food budgeting and have a repertoire of hearty, healthy recipes up your sleeve, ready to share!
The core function of the role will be to lead our Batch Cook & Save workshops for women in our community, in our beautiful fully equipped femfoods kitchen in Possilpark. Working closely with women from all backgrounds you will teach the basics of cooking from scratch, nutritional information and provide economic empowerment by showing women how to shop and cook on a budget, ultimately saving money for their families.
In addition, you’ll be responsible for other kitchen duties including food orders and preparation, stock taking, cleaning and planning and budgeting for both kitchen workshops and seasonal delivery of community meals.
You will uphold a high standard of food safety and hygiene and will hold the required food hygiene standard certificates. You’ll take pride in our kitchen, and make sure it is clean, presentable and welcoming at all times.
We will offer training and access to teaching materials and previous recipes for our cooking programme and can also support the right candidate to update their food hygiene and safety certification as required for the role.
We love ideas and we love initiative at MsMissMrs, so we’d hope that you can contribute your skills, passion and experience to developing and growing our Batch Cook and Save programme further, to meet the needs of our community of women and families.
We are a small but mighty team who care passionately about addressing wellbeing inequalities and supporting and empowering women and girls to thrive. Our culture and values are of utmost importance to us as we strive to be collaborative, relational and non-judgemental in everything we do. As an integral part of our sessional team, you will share and embody these values too.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
