Head Chef – help to lead a unique, creative environment

 

The Oxford Cultural Collective continues to work with Ulster University to progress the work of Academy: the Centre for Food, Drink and Culture, a unique learning and commercial environment located in Belfast’s vibrant Cathedral Quarter.

Ulster University is seeking to appoint an outstanding Head Chef to play a central role in shaping the success of the Academy restaurant. This is a rare opportunity to work in a senior role as part of a highly creative team in one of the UK’s most distinctive restaurant environments.  Unlike any ‘standard’ hospitality venue, Academy nurtures the talents of the next generation of hospitality professionals, hosts a wide range of cultural and business events and is contributing to the development of Northern Ireland as a leading food and drink destination.

The successful candidate will be someone who is excited about seeking out the very best local, seasonal produce; who champions environmental sustainability; and is be committed to supporting the personal and professional development of others.
