Brellis Recruitment is working on behalf of a professional sports club in the West Midlands to appoint a Training Ground Chef.

This role suits someone looking for a part-time or flexible position rather than a standard five-day week – for example, someone balancing school-run commitments, another interest, or simply someone who values having a natural break built into their working year.

Hours & Working Pattern

Typically 3–4 days per week, working 7.30am – 3.30pm Days will vary in line with the training and event schedule – for example, fewer days may be required in weeks with a midweek fixture or event Occasional evening or event-day working will be required to support the wider catering team The role follows the sporting calendar, so there is minimal or no work available during the closed season (broadly May and June), making it well suited to someone who welcomes an annual break at this time Paid on an hourly basis to reflect the variable nature of hours across the season What You'll Be Doing
