We have a fantastic opportunity for three professional and enthusiastic Catering Assistants to join our Catering Services team in producing high-quality food for our pupils and staff in our busy school. The Catering Assistants will provide a high-quality, professional and responsive catering service to the Junior and Senior Schools and staff, reporting to the Head of Catering Services. Service is cafeteria-style and offers a wide choice, including soup, hot and cold main courses and puddings, a vegetarian dish, open sandwiches, and salad meals. The team prepares around 1,500 meals each day, as well as several formal dinners over the academic year for between 30 and 120 guests. Very little frozen food is used, and the team takes pride in producing interesting and healthy food whilst catering for a wide variety of dietary requirements.
