What skills and experience we're looking for

The Governors are seeking to appoint a Technician to provide specialist support to our Food & Nutrition Department at this selective school, FIVE times judged OUTSTANDING by OFSTED (the most recent Inspection being November 2022), which is committed to the ideals of Catholic education and where GCSE and A Level results are consistently excellent.

Duties are wide-ranging and will include: support to pupils in accessing the curriculum (experience in food/catering/cooking is required), maintenance, cleaning, and preparation of equipment/working areas/resources, shopping for/ordering ingredients. Knowledge of food hygiene standards (training is available). The Food Technician enables the smooth running of lessons.

This person will work under the direction of the Head of Food and Nutrition. School experience would be desirable but is not essential.

The appointed candidate will be flexible in their approach to the wide-range of work undertaken – and will be an intrinsic part of the support staff team. The ability to manage a range of competing demands and to prioritise work is very important. Very good levels of both written and spoken English are essential together with computing skills.
