Organiclea has a community kitchen which is the heart of our Grow It, Cook It work, inspiring people to eat more plant-based, seasonal and organic food. We are passionate about the difference this food can make to our own health, and that of the world around us: by lowering our carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting biodiversity.
Each week on Wednesdays and Fridays, our kitchen provides a nutritious and delicious lunch free for all site users. This is prepared by a Kitchen Lead working with one or more volunteers. We are currently looking for a Kitchen Lead to cook on Fridays from 8 November 2024 onwards.
Our intention is that the role provides opportunities for people to further develop their skills in large-scale, plant-based cooking. We hope that people will be able to progress from Organiclea to cooking at other community or commercial organisations.
Experience of working with people is more important than formal education. If you do not meet all the skills and experience listed in the person specification, but feel you are the right person for this work, you are encouraged to apply.
Grow It, Cook It is funded by City Bridge Foundation.
