Ly cleaning routines
1. Help with simple setup and clear-down at break and lunchtime
2. Follow hygiene, food safety and health & safety procedures at all times
Every day is a little different — because the kitchen supports the whole school community. That’s what makes the role both purposeful and valued.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone who:
3. Brings a calm, steady and positive approach — even during busy periods
4. Takes pride in maintaining a clean, safe and well-organised environment
5. Works well as part of a supportive team and is happy to help wherever needed
6. Communicates clearly and builds positive relationships with adults and young people
7. Is reliable, consistent and able to follow procedures carefully
8. Is comfortable lifting, carrying and being on their feet throughout the day
9. Ideally has kitchen or cleaning experience (training can be provided)
10. Level 2 Food hygiene (desirable but not essential)
If you take pride in doing things properly, keeping standards high and contributing to something meaningful — you’ll thrive here.
