We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Cook-in-Charge to lead the catering service at Ysgol San Sior, delivering nutritious, high-quality meals that support the wellbeing of pupils, staff, and visitors.

This is more than just a cooking role, it's an opportunity to take ownership of a vital service, lead a small team, and help shape a positive mealtime experience in a busy school environment. You'll
be at the heart of the school day, creating meals that fuel learning and bring comfort and joy to the school community.
If you're organised, motivated, and ready to take the lead in a friendly kitchen setting, we'd love to
hear from you.

The main duties of the post will include: -
1. Organise, prepare and serve food at lunchtime for the students, staff and visitors of Ysgol San
Sior.
2. Provide on the job training for new cooks and colleagues.
3. Cooking the meals required, portion control, food service, ordering, washing up and cleaning of kitchen and dining room.
4. Be prepared to undergo appropriate training and development (sometimes outside normal working days/hours by prior arrangement) i.e. Intermediate Food Hygiene and Basic Nutrition.
5. Associated clerical duties.

Due to the nature of the work, it will be necessary to obtain a satisfactory disclosure from the
Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly known as the Criminal Records Bureau)., The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post. We are committed to our Welsh language and are proud of our Welsh culture. We welcome applications in both Welsh and English and application forms received in either language will not be treated less favourably than each other. We're passionate about supporting and encouraging you to use your Cymraeg whatever your level. We offer free classes at all levels, in-person and on-line to support you.
