North London, London, United Kingdom The Dusty Knuckle Full time

Job title: Kitchen Lead

Location: Haringey, N4

Contract: Full time, 40 hours per week, 5 shifts per week

Salary: £38K+ Tronc (approx. 5-6k per annum)

Who are we?

The Dusty Knuckle Bakery is a purpose driven business which operates busy cafes and restaurants, serving very high quality food and drinks whilst also distributing bread and pastry to other businesses. Whilst we considerour products at TDK to be some of the best in London, we are about much more than just baking.

TDK runs a youth training programme. We provide work-based mentorship/support, training, and employment opportunities to at risk youth, including those with offending histories. We believe in equipping trainees with the confidence, skills, personal accountability, and support network to develop productive, functional lives.

We have worked tirelessly since 2014 to grow the business from a fledgling start-up in a 40 ft shipping container into a profit-for-purpose food venture with strong brand recognition and a loyal following. We now employ 100+ staff and are developing training routes specifically designed and reserved for at-risk young people. Our social impact program is embedded within the bakery, kitchen, and café operations.

TDK is at an exciting time in its growth.

We expanded our production HQ and opened a second London site in 2021; we now aim to expand to other sites over the coming years alongside the expansion and refinement of our training program for young people.

Why work for us?

The Dusty Knuckle is a truly unique workplace. We opened our second site in 2021 in Haringey, where the team bake pastries daily, cook a full café menu from Tuesday to Sunday and make run a full service pizza restaurant from Thursday to Sunday. Join our team, and you will:

  • be part of an expert crew with a detailed understanding of baking, cooking, hospitality and coffee
  • have opportunities for career progression in a diverse and growing organisation with ambitions
  • be given paid training opportunities and leadership coaching

Enjoy our staff perks; At TDK , we offer:

Regular appraisals to develop person-specific career goals

Free use of our Campervan (if over 25 and a clean UK license)

Why apply for this role?

We have a low turnover of senior positions at The Dusty Knuckle, so this is a unique and exciting opportunity to lead the HaringeyKitchen team.

Most Senior chef jobs involve long hours in a stressful environment. At The Dusty Knuckle Haringey, you are never expected to work more than 5 shifts a week or 8 hours long.

We make everything in house from pickles and jam to nduja and porchetta.

This is a perfect role for someone who is a well seasoned chef but is now looking for a role in a more supportive environment where people are as important as the product. It is also a role that would work for someone who has good management skills and wants to hone their cooking.
