Chefs

Chefs – to commence September 2023

We are looking to appoint two outstanding Chefs to provide a first-class catering service to students, staff, parents and visitors to Halliford School. The ideal candidates will be enthusiastic and hardworking team players willing to join a busy and vibrant department.

The successful applicants must have previous catering experience which will allow them to plan, prepare and deliver high quality, healthy and nutritious menus to suit the expectations of all. They will work within a dedicated and highly motivated catering team and take responsibility for the operational efficiency of the catering service with creative flair and passion.  The core student and staff catering service operates daily term-time only, with additional catering/hospitality required to support the wide range of events organised by the School during the school day, in the evening and at weekends.

Successful candidates should have proven skills within a catering setting teamed with an interest in promoting healthy eating for all.  An excellent understanding of relevant health and safety considerations is essential, together with an awareness of budget and cost management.  You will also have a very strong empathy for working with young people and be fully supportive of the aims & ethos of Halliford School.

Both roles are term-time appointments with a competitive salary and benefits package. The hours of work will vary with one Chef vacancy 8am till 4pm and one vacancy 11am till 7pm (3 days and till 3pm 2 days). The ideal candidates will need to be flexible during term time as there will be an additional expectation to cover evening and weekend events such as Open Days, concerts and PTA events. Salary is competitive and dependent on experience.
