We are delighted to be recruiting a Director of Catering to lead the food and hospitality services across Eastbourne College and St Andrew’s Prep, two prestigious co-educational independent schools in East Sussex.

This is a five-over-seven operation, but offers a very sustainable work-life balance – perfect for someone who understands the rhythm of school life and is committed to service excellence throughout the week. We're looking for someone hands-on and strategic, who wants to understand the full picture of the operation, and use that insight to help shape and grow the offering.

With a strong focus on fresh, seasonal, and modern food concepts, you’ll be responsible for leading a talented team, setting a high bar for quality and innovation, and delivering exceptional, nutritious food that excites students, staff, and guests alike.

If you're ready to take a key leadership role in a vibrant and high-profile setting – and help shape the future of education catering we’d love to hear from you.
