Cook job summary

We are seeking to appoint an inspiring Assistant Cook to join our school family and work with our experienced staff and our well behaved and enthusiastic children. The role would be working 11.15am to 1.45pm, Monday to Friday, term time only.

Beechcroft St Paul’s is a popular school within Weymouth. It opened 26 years ago as a purpose-built infant school. In 2003 it became a Church of England Primary School and over the years the school building has been extended including provision for nursery children in Eden in 2013. In August 2017 we joined DSAT as part of the Bay Hub.

Beechcroft St Paul’s is a family and the special atmosphere in the school is often commented upon. Staff and governors work hard to ensure the very best educational opportunities for every child as a unique individual. Our Christian ethos is important to us and we have excellent links with our local church, St Paul’s, and the wider community.
