‘Children who eat a healthy, balanced diet are better able to concentrate, retain information, and perform well academically. At Crawshaw Academy, we are 100% committed to providing the best nutrition for our students, to support their learning and development’
The beauty of our catering offering at Crawshaw Academy is, as much as possible, we create our products in house. This means we have the autonomy to try new and exciting ideas, as well as having the agility to change things quickly if they are not working! Our skilled team provides nutritious, balanced meals that are both delicious and affordable. Our goal is to foster a lasting culture of healthy eating, helping students thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Our team is made up of our Head Chef, who is accountable for all aspects, supported by our in-house Baker and 2 Senior Catering Assistants managing the rest of the team (10 people in total). We are the very definition of team players, who are well accustomed to the changes of pace a school day brings. The promotion of our last three leaders reflects our strong commitment to nurturing talent and supporting individuals in reaching their full potential." Our intention is always to be customer focussed, whilst putting a smile on both ours and our customer’s faces.
We are looking for a friendly, hardworking Catering Assistant who enjoys the energy of a busy school setting. This role involves regular interaction with students, so strong communication skills and a team-oriented attitude are essential.
