At The Clink, we believe food can transform lives.
Since 2009, we have trained around 5,000 prisoners and delivered more than 2,600 City & Guilds qualifications across hospitality and food service disciplines. Our innovative programmes support people both inside prison and after release, helping reduce reoffending through education, mentoring and employment pathways.
Our work spans award-winning restaurants, commercial bakeries, catering operations and horticulture projects, with Clink Events delivering catering at some of Londons most prestigious venues including the Guildhall, Science Museum, Cutty Sark, Kew Gardens and Camden Roundhouse.

Working alongside the General Manager and Head Chef, you will help operate The Clink Restaurant at HMP Brixton delivering an outstanding guest experience while training and mentoring prisoner students in hospitality and front-of-house service.
