Although employed directly by the school, you will work in partnership with Educatering, our professional school catering support provider.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, takes pride in preparing fresh, nutritious meals, and values the reassurance of having experienced colleagues to support them when needed.

The Governors are committed to CPD and are keen to support staff develop their professional practice and careers. If you are willing to work hard and adopt our school procedures in return for being part of a fabulous team in a forward-thinking and progressive school, this may well be the job for you!
If you're passionate about preparing great food, enjoy working independently and want to make a positive difference to children's school day, we'd love to hear from you.
