Fancy contributing to the adventurous experience of a young person attending an Outward Bound course? Your ability to make great food is a vital part of our mission.
Our Eskdale Centre is a one hundred bedded outdoor education centre, consisting of a variety of buildings from a Grade Listed II main house to more modern accommodation areas all set in amazing grounds. We work with young people aged 16-25 who are in the early stages of their careers.
Our hospitality team play a very important role in the experience that course participants and guests have whilst at the centre.
A critical part of an Outward Bound residential is eating food that fuels big adventures and tastes amazing. If you join us, you'll be working in a friendly and professional team, in a large spacious kitchen prepping and serving wholesome, home cooked meals, freshly made every day, for young people.
This job is much more than just cooking. You’ll be part of something really worthwhile. Outward Bound is a charity. Thousands of young people come to our centres every year for a few days of outdoor learning and adventure. Most of them have never left the city they live in, never mind come to the Lake District and see hills and sheep!
Your food will give them the energy to get to the top of a mountain, row across the lake and climb up a waterfall. Without you, they simply won't have the physical energy to power through their week.
“It is a lifestyle choice. You’re not stuck in kitchen never seeing your customers. I speak to young people every day. I hear about their adventures at Outward Bound and help them make the best food choices.
I’m also surrounded by mountaineers, climbers, paddlers, mountain bikers and some of the best outdoor educators in the world. And the team here are always friendly, it's never dull.”
If you have any questions or are ready to apply, please send us an email with your up to date CV to Jay: jay.lombard@outwardbound.org.uk.
We know that confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we’ll let you in on a secret: there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect candidate. So however you identify and whatever background you bring with you, please apply if this is a role that would make you excited to come into work every day.
Please note: if we offer you the job, you'll be asked to do a DBS check, which Outward Bound pay for.
