Teaching careers in HMC independent schools
We're looking for two cooks to join our established catering team to assist in all areas of preparing, cooking and serving food, using locally sourced and high quality ingredients to make exciting and healthy meals for children, staff and visitors.
Pocklington is a thriving co-educational independent day and boarding school twelve miles east of York with 700 pupils aged from 0 – 18. With over 500 years of history you can expect a family-centred community where we care for every child in a unique way. Exciting times are ahead as we have expanded our provision last month to include our brand new Little Pips nursery. Meal times are a vital part of the school day and are enjoyed by everyone where we serve up to 800 lunches and 80 breakfasts & suppers.
Working within a team to assist in all areas of preparing, cooking and serving food, you will use locally sourced and high quality ingredients to make exciting and healthy meals for children, staff and visitors.
You will be an enthusiastic and effective team worker, who can follow instructions with a good knowledge of cooking methods and techniques.
Ideally you will have experience of working in a similar role alongside a genuine passion for high quality, fresh food. You will enjoy delivering excellent customer service to support our Catering Team to provide a safe, nutritious and fun eating environment for all members of the Pocklington School Foundation.
