The Golden Thread Alliance are recruiting for a casual Kitchen Assistant to work across the trust on a zero hour contract. The salary is based upon the Kent Range 3, £23,337 FTE, paid at £12.10 per hour.
Reporting to the Catering Manager, you will play an essential part in ensuring our food service is the best that it can be, as you will be working in our kitchens providing extra support and covering absence.
You will need to be flexible and adaptable, and your duties will be varied, including basic food preparation, serving pupils and staff, and of course washing up and helping to keep the kitchen clean, tidy and safe.
As a very important member of our team, you will be expected to undertake training, which you will be paid for, and we will provide you with uniform. Experience of working in a kitchen environment is desirable but not essential, and we welcome applicants seeking a better work life balance and greater flexibility.
