Your Day-to-Day
- Washing up crockery, utensils, and kitchen equipment using our trusty dishwashing machines (and occasionally, old-fashioned elbow grease).
- Serving meals to students and staff with a smile (and maybe a little friendly banter).
- Helping the team with basic food preparation (chopping, peeling, mixing, plating, and garnishing.- nothing too scary).
- Assisting with deliveries - unpacking stock and storing it in the right places.
- Making sure the service area is clean, tidy, and well-stocked during lunch.
- Helping to set up and clear down before and after service.
- Washing dishes, utensils, and equipment - making them ready for their next big performance.
- Following food hygiene and safety standards at all times.
- Supporting the team wherever needed to keep service running smoothly.
- And the completion of any other reasonable requests given by your manager
- At good energy - mealtimes can be busy, and we need you to keep pace.
- Attention to detail - whether it's a neat presentation or the correct allergen labelling.
- Great communication skills - with both adults and young people.
- Reliability and good timekeeping.
- Catering experience is helpful but not essential - enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are just as important.
This Role Is Perfect If You
- Want to make a real impact in a school community
- Enjoy variety and hands-on work
- Like the idea of work-life balance that includes school holidays
- Are ready to bring your ideas, creativity, and energy to the table
