The ideal candidate must be standards driven, focused on attention to detail and ideally some experience of working in quality establishments. ​

​Our Catering Department is fully operational between the hours of 6.30am and 8pm during term time, as well as beyond these hours for functions and events. It also continues to run during the School close down periods to service outside lettings. Some flexibility in approach to hours will be required. ​

This post is to work 37.5 hours per week, all year round, on a 5 days out of 7 shift basis.​

​Salary: £24,780 per annum (actual) plus shift allowance of £1,428 per annum. Total salary: £26,208 per annum​

​Applications will be considered on receipt and should be submitted to HR to arrive no later than 9am on Friday, 17th October 2025. Interviews are expected to take place toward the end of that week, although we reserve the right to interview at any point during the recruitment process so early applications are encouraged. ​
