Become one of our cookery club class leaders

We're often looking for people to get our primary school pupils excited about cookery.If you love food and cooking, enjoy working with children and think you would relish sharing your enthusiasm for cookery with them, this role might just be perfect for you.You'll get to lead five after-school cookery clubs in your area (max 20 minutes drive from the town centre). The clubs run for approx 1 hour after school, Monday to Friday, during term time only. Total time needed for each class is about 2.5 hours including prep, set-up, clear-up and wash-up.No two classes are the same so it's never boring, constantly engaging and by turns fun, exhausting, hilarious, challenging and, ultimately, very satisfying. The rate of pay is pretty good too.This is what Lorraine, class leader since 2013, says about the job:
‘I am pleased to say that working for Bayleaf has been a joy from day one. Charlotte and Andrew are great to work for and are always cheery and easy to get along with. The job is very rewarding and never dull or boring. Every week is different and to see the joy on children’s faces when they leave with their delicious dish is its own reward. The ingredients and recipes are all provided for you each week so you just gather your utensils and get stuck in. Its definitely the best job I’ve ever had!’
