Summary
This is not your average catering job. It is a great chance to put your catering qualifications and skills into practice and make an impact far beyond the kitchen.
As part of the prison’s catering team, you’ll be working in a professional industrial kitchen environment, with a good salary, pension and Civil Service benefits including apprenticeship opportunities ‘earn while you learn’. Unlike traditional restaurant jobs, you won’t have to work late into the evening.
You’ll oversee the work of offenders to prepare and cook quality, nutritional meals for the entire prison. Plus, you’ll play your part in helping them turn their lives around - supporting them to learn new skills and work towards gaining qualifications to increase their chances of employment and reduce their likelihood of reoffending when they leave prison.
Hours and salary
The following salary details are for a full-time 37 hour week. Please note that this is a part-time roll of 18.5 hours per week so the salary will be pro rata.
As a new recruit, you will start on the minimum salary.
Salary minimum £27,040
Salary maximum £28,472
Qualifications and experience
· Level 2 certificate in food production within hospitality and catering or equivalent
· Food hygiene certificate at Level 2
In addition, you must be:
· Familiar with all current health, safety and hygiene related regulations for working in a kitchen
· Able to demonstrate competency within an industrial kitchen environment
· Able to speak with confidence in English
Please note refresher training in food safety (HACCP) should be completed at three year intervals.

You will need to provide an anonymised CV and answer questions which outline your past experience.
You will also need to answer specific ‘behavioural’ questions. We will ask you how you would react in your job.
Behaviours:
· Developing self and others
· Managing a quality service
· Communicating and influencing
