Job Introduction

Imagine being at the forefront of a movement that empowers young minds to make nourishing choices, fuelling both their academic journeys and personal growth.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a qualified Nutritionist to join the Sodexo UK Culinary team in supporting the schools business. Reporting to the senior Quality & Nutrition Manager you'll embark on a rewarding journey where you'll collaborate with our culinary team, onsite staff, and clients to create an environment that educates, inspires, and nourishes. Your work will extend beyond the dining room as you engage in nutritional education sessions and contribute to innovative menu development that aligns with our commitment to holistic wellbeing.

Your role is pivotal in helping young individuals make informed food choices that resonate with their overall health and growth.

Flexibility for occasional travel within the UK may be necessary as roles could involve preferred geographical locations (mostly South England)  and the possibility of remote work.

What you’ll do:
  • Drive the delivery of food strategy within the School & University Segment, ensuring that food nutrition standards are met and aligned with client expectations.
  • Serve as a Segment Ambassador and Subject Matter Expert in Nutrition, Health, and Wellbeing, fostering an environment that promotes informed food choices.
  • Collaborate with the culinary team to design educational nutrition sessions, enhancing students' understanding of healthy eating and dietary habits.
  • Gather insights from clients, students, parents, and stakeholders to continuously improve health and wellbeing outcomes.
  • Develop and implement nutritional initiatives in line with public health goals, partnering with external organisations such as BNF, School Food Plan, and Eatwell Guide.
  • Design innovative themed days that incorporate nutritional guidelines and support the development of chef and front-of-house team training activities.
  • Participate in pupil feedback sessions, conduct research to create case studies, and foster nutritional wellbeing programs in collaboration with sports departments.
 
What you bring:

  • A deep passion for nutrition, health, and positive eating habits, demonstrated through your personal and professional journey.
  • Hold a BSc degree in nutrition and have experience working with and teaching pupils or students.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, alongside adaptability and a proactive attitude.
  • Results-oriented, organised, and driven by self-motivation.
  • Keen interest in staying updated with the latest research and trends in nutrition.
  • Strong presentation and IT skills, including proficiency in Excel.

What we offer: 

Working with Sodexo is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of something greater. You’ll belong in a company and team that values you for you; you’ll act with purpose and have an impact through your everyday actions; and you’ll be able to thrive in your own way. In addition, we offer:
  • Flexible and dynamic work environment
  • Competitive compensation
  • Access to ongoing training and development programs
  • Countless opportunities to grow within the company
