Catering Assistants

We have the opportunity to appoint 2 Catering Assistants as maternity cover to join our Secondary Catering Team. Our Catering Team provide fresh hot and cold food to students and staff across all schools within Brooke Weston Trust across Corby, Kettering and Wisbech. The successful candidate will assist with all aspects of food preparation, food service, kitchen and canteen hygiene in a busy and demanding environment. The ideal candidate may already have experience working in a school catering environment; however it is essential that any candidate shares our vision to provide an enjoyable and safe environment during lunch times and dismiss the age-old notion that school dinners are bad! Travel between schools may also be required. Tasks include cleaning during lunch service and other kitchen duties as required.

Our Trust was formed more than 30 years ago with a simple and clear mission - to transform educational performance in all our communities. Working in some of the most challenging contexts, we improve our students' achievements by making long term commitments to the community and championing new approaches to improve the life chances for young people. Our members of staff are essential to realising this vision, and a happy, motivated and supported team will deliver the best possible experiences for our young people. We place great emphasis on creating a supportive and collaborative working environment in all our schools, where all staff can share best practice through our colleague network. Brooke Weston Trust staff get access to first class professional development through our Ambition Hub, which is also home to the Northamptonshire Teaching School.
