Kitchen Assistant job summary

About the role:

The role will be to assist in the preparation and service of tasty and nutritious meals to students and staff under the direction of the Catering Manager. Duties will include basic food preparation, cleaning duties and preparing counters whilst ensuring levels of hygiene are maintained within the kitchen.

Level 2 Food Safety qualification would be an advantage, or be willing to complete the qualification via an e-learning course provided.

Whilst experience in a school environment or catering may be advantageous, it is by no means essential as training can be given. We are more interested in finding the right person for the role, than the experience they bring to it.

The successful candidate will have:

The ability to use initiative

Be willing to undertake direction and guidance

Knowledge of child safeguarding procedures

Be willing to learn and have a ‘can-do’ attitude working as part of a team

Closing Date: Wednesday 21 May, 5pm

The College reserves the right to interview as soon as it has a suitable field of candidates and so encourages early applications.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.
