Role Overview
Olchfa is pleased to offer an excellent opportunity for an individual seeking to progress in a management role within the catering industry. The Governing Body wishes to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, and suitably experienced individual to lead and manage the daily operations of the school's catering provision.

A high standard of customer service and the ability to engage positively with both pupils and staff are essential.

The successful candidate will also be expected to demonstrate initiative and vision in identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and innovation.
