Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you passionate about great food and outstanding service? Are you an experienced or aspiring leader in food service? If so, we have a role for you. We're looking for friendly, reliable individuals with strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering excellent hands-on service. If you're ready to be part of a hardworking and welcoming team in a busy, energetic school environment, we'd love to hear from you.
This is a varied and engaging role where no two days are the same. You will have the chance to work across different settings within the school, including our dedicated Year 7 canteen, the vibrant Sixth Form café and the busy whole-school canteen. This offers a great opportunity to build connections and be part of the wider school community.
We welcome those coming from other catering backgrounds and offer a supportive transition into the school environment. Your transferable skills are valued, and we’ll help you apply them with confidence in a new setting.
As an Assistant Catering Manager you will be supporting the Catering Manager with daily operations, help coordinate the team, and ensure a smooth and efficient service. This role is ideal for someone with leadership potential looking to grow within the catering industry.
What We’re Looking For:
• A genuine passion for food and service
• Team players with a positive attitude
• Relevant experience in catering
• Food hygiene knowledge – We provide our teams with ongoing training programmes to support with the mandatory food hygiene and safety courses.
• Commitment to being part of the school’s journey – someone who understands that children learn best when they’re well-fed and ready to thrive.
What the school offers its staff
• A strong, supportive school community — many of our staff choose to send their own children here, which speaks to the care and values we share as a team.
• Receive a generous employer pension contribution of 25% to secure your future.
• Enjoy exclusive discounts if you hold a Teacher or Blue Light Card.
• Access a comprehensive health and wellbeing program with 24/7 professional support.
• Take advantage of our cycle to work scheme to stay active and save money.
• A welcoming and supportive team that values collaboration — with the added strength of being part of a Trust that offers connection, development, and support beyond our school.
• Benefit from term-time work, with only 38 weeks per year including inset days, giving you more quality time with loved ones.
• Free staff parking
If you're enthusiastic about food and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you!
