The Governors of Dawpool CE Primary School are delighted to invite applications for a kind, enthusiastic and committed Part-Time Catering Assistant to join our friendly and welcoming school team.
This is a permanent position, working 39 weeks per year during term time, including 5 INSET days.
This is a wonderful opportunity to become part of our in-house catering team, supported by RPJ3. We are looking for someone who takes pride in helping to prepare and serve high-quality, nutritious meals for our children, while ensuring our school kitchen remains clean, safe and hygienic.
You will be joining a friendly, supportive and dedicated team, where everyone plays an important part in creating a positive dining experience for our pupils. The role will involve a range of general catering duties across the school.
Previous catering experience would be an advantage, but it is not essential, as full training will be provided for the successful candidate. Most importantly, we are looking for someone with a positive attitude, a caring nature and a willingness to work as part of a team.
As a Church of England primary school, we are looking for someone who will support and uphold our Christian vision and values, helping us to create a warm, caring and inclusive environment for our whole school community.
As a member of the Chester Diocesan Academy Trust (CDAT), we can offer:
Delightful pupils who are polite, respectful and keen to learn.
A very friendly and happy school with a caring Christian ethos in which all members of the school community are highly valued and nurtured as individuals.
Strong, supportive links between staff, governors, parents and the community.
Beautiful surroundings to provide opportunities for enrichment.
Our school is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure Certificate. Stringent Checks and Vetting Procedures apply to all posts as part of our Safeguarding Policy.
