5 reasons you’ll love a Team Leader job in M&B kitchens
What is a Team Leader job?
Are you a natural-born leader with a passion for food? Then we’ve got a place for you as one of our Kitchen Team Leaders at Mitchells and Butlers.
As a Team Leader in an M&B kitchen, you’re the glue that holds the team together. You’ll lead by example, ensuring every dish leaving the kitchen meets our high standards.
From managing stock levels to training new team members, your role is all about maintaining a smooth and efficient kitchen operation.
You’ll work closely with the Head Chef and the rest of the kitchen crew to deliver top-notch meals while keeping the energy high and the environment fun.
Let’s dive into what makes this job so amazing and why you’ll absolutely love being a Team Leader at M&B.
1. Inspire your team
As a Team Leader, you’ll work closely with the Head Chef to support the team, providing leadership and guidance, especially when the Head Chef is not present.
Whether it’s during a busy dinner rush or a calm afternoon prep session, your collaborative leadership ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Leadership within an M&B kitchen is a shared effort, so that the entire team is working towards the same goal and everything runs smoothly.
2. Endless learning opportunities
M&B is all about growth and development. As a Team Leader, you’ll have access to a wealth of training and resources to sharpen your skills.
Whether it’s mastering how to inspire your team or learning how to manage stocks more effectively, there’s always something new to learn.
Plus, you’ll be passing on this knowledge to your team, which is incredibly rewarding.
3. Building strong relationships
Working in a kitchen is a team effort, and as a Team Leader, you’ll be at the heart of it all. You’ll build strong relationships with your teammates, and create a supportive and fun work environment.
These bonds make the tough shifts easier and the great shifts even more enjoyable.
4. Career progression
At M&B, we’re big on progressing from within. A Team Leader position is just the beginning.
With dedication and hard work, you could progress to a Head Chef role or even a role outside the kitchen, such as our managerial positions or Head Office positions.
Take Anthony, for example, who has worked his way up through the business from Head Chef to Accredited Kitchen Manager to Food Safety Manager.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to your career at M&B, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
5. Competitive benefits and perks
At M&B, we believe in taking care of our team. As a Team Leader, you'll enjoy a range of competitive benefits and perks.
From discounts at our restaurants and pubs to comprehensive health and wellness programs, we’ve got you covered.
We also offer flexible schedules to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. These perks not only make your job more enjoyable but also show that we value your hard work and dedication.
Take your kitchen career to the next level in a Team Leader job
You’ll lead an amazing team, learn new skills, and have the chance to grow within a company that truly values its people. Plus, you’ll be part of a fun and dynamic environment where no two days are the same.
