Catering Assistant in Kettering

Our students come from all walks of life, and we want our staffing body to be reflective of the communities we work within. Brooke Weston Trust does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, nationality, culture, age, disability, marital status or socio-economic backgrounds. We encourage and welcome applications from minority groups and foster a work environment that's inclusive as well as diverse, where people can be themselves.

We have the opportunity to appoint 2 Catering Assistants as maternity cover to join our Secondary Catering Team. Our Catering Team provide fresh hot and cold food to students and staff across all schools within Brooke Weston Trust across Corby, Kettering and Wisbech. The successful candidate will assist with all aspects of food preparation, food service, kitchen and canteen hygiene in a busy and demanding environment. The ideal candidate may already have experience working in a school catering environment; however it is essential that any candidate shares our vision to provide an enjoyable and safe environment during lunch times and dismiss the age-old notion that school dinners are bad! Travel between schools may also be required. Tasks include cleaning during lunch service and other kitchen duties as required.
