About Us

Rooks to Cooks is the GTA’s leading culinary school for children, offering a wide variety of hands-on cooking programs for youth ages 4–14 — from our popular summer culinary camps to in-school workshops, community activations, and special events. Our mission is to empower children to become more independent, self-sufficient, and confident while discovering the joy of cooking and baking.

About the Role

We are seeking passionate and experienced Lead Chef Instructors to join our summer camp team. This full-time seasonal role is perfect for skilled culinary professionals who are strong communicators, natural leaders, and called to share their knowledge while inspiring the next generation of young chefs.

Lead Chef Instructors play a central role. You will co-manage a camp location, oversee staff, campers, and CIT (Chef in Training) candidates, lead engaging and educational cooking demonstrations, and ensure a safe and fun experience for all campers. You will also support the back-of-house operations, including inventory management, mise en place prep, and facilitating memorable end-of-week pop-up dinners.

This hands-on, fast-paced, and rewarding position is ideal for someone who loves inspiring young chefs, mentoring staff, and creating memorable culinary experiences.

Lead the majority of culinary demonstrations in a fun, interactive, and engaging manner.
Deliver large- and small-group instruction, following the curriculum and recipes provided by Head Office.
Model proper technique, safety, and kitchen professionalism for campers and staff.
Support campers with recipe execution, ensuring safety, accuracy, and skill-building.

3. Chef-in-Training (CIT) Program Oversight

Oversee the Chef-in-Training program, ensuring all CITs have a positive learning experience.
Teach entry-level culinary skills, provide coaching, and maintain high engagement.
Manage CIT performance and address skill gaps, motivation issues, or behavioural concerns.
Ensure CITs are integrated into site operations without compromising safety or workflow.

4. Back-of-House (BOH) Leadership

Oversee all BOH staff and ensure efficient team coordination.
Oversee inventory and mise en place organization, product rotation (FIFO), and cleanliness standards.
Uphold kitchen cleanliness and organization standards including fridge, freezer, dry storage, and cooking equipment.
Lead menu planning for the end-of-week pop-up restaurant, with full consideration for dietary needs and allergies.
Manage the back-of-house team (staff and campers) to execute a seamless dinner service for up to 70 guests.

5. Camper Experience & Wellbeing

Ensure campers stay hydrated and well-fed throughout the day.
Supervise campers during cooking and non-cooking periods to ensure safety, engagement, and enjoyment.
Provide a warm, supportive, and approachable presence for campers of all ages and confidence levels.

6. Brand Ambassador & Public Relations
