What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Food Technician (or a willingness to learn and develop in the role)
• Good subject knowledge alongside strong organisational and communication skills
• A positive, proactive approach and the ability to work as part of a team
• A commitment to safeguarding and enhancing the learning experience of all students

Full training will be provided for the right candidate.

Why Join Us?

At The Romsey School, we are proud of our supportive culture and strong sense of community. Our June 2023 Ofsted report (graded Good) highlights our positive environment for both staff and students.

We offer:

• A comprehensive CPD programme and ongoing professional development
• A strong focus on staff wellbeing, including a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to work scheme, free flu vaccinations and eye care vouchers
• Discounted meals from our excellent on-site kitchen
• Access to our on-site nursery (Little Sunlights) with staff discount
• Free on-site parking
