Are you passionate about providing excellent service and creating a positive dining experience for children? We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Kitchen Assistant to become an important member of our school catering team. In this rewarding role, you will help ensure that pupils receive healthy, nutritious meals in a safe, clean, and welcoming environment.

Working as part of our experienced catering team, you will assist with food preparation, meal service, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the kitchen and dining areas. Your contribution will play a vital part in supporting pupils' wellbeing and helping them get the most from their school day.

This position would suit someone who enjoys working as part of a team, takes pride in their work, and thrives in a busy environment. Previous kitchen experience is welcome but not essential, as full training and support will be provided. What matters most is a positive attitude, reliability, and a commitment to delivering excellent service.

If you are looking for a role that offers term-time working, a friendly atmosphere, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the daily lives of young people, we would love to hear from you.
